The Twins

The Twins - area map Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada The Twins moniker was originally applied in 1898 for the two highest summits of North Twin and South Twin. Twins Tower was officially adopted as a name for the striking tower north of North Twin. “West Twin” is an unofficial name for the highpoint just west of South Twin. Today, many local mountaineers associate the name, The Twins, with these four 11,000 foot plus summits. Some might also include the unofficial, local name of “Son of Twin” (GR 692867) a prominent 3270m (10,728ft.) high point outlier on the North West ridge of Twins Tower, but this obscure summit has likely only ever seen one ascent.
