On [[July 11]] [[1955]], in one of Canada's most tragic mountaineering accidents, seven [[United States|American]] male teenagers were killed on the southwest ridge route. A warm summer day had caused several nearby [[avalanche]]s. They finally decided to turn back and during the descent, an avalanche swept 10 members of the party 
200 metres (650 ft){{convert|200|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} down the snowfield through a bottleneck of rocks. Unfortunately, the entire party only had one [[ice axe]] among them and were not well prepared for the seriousness of the route. The party had also gone up the route without either of their two group leaders.<ref name=acc>[http://alpineclub-edm.org/accidents/accident.asp?id=601 1955 Accident Report]</ref>
