Canadians Pascale Marceau and Eva Capozzola are the first all-women team to reach the summit of Mount Lucania, Canada’s third tallest peak.
The team made it to the summit on April 26, 2021, at 3:34 p.m. PDT after beginning their attempt less than two weeks prior.
Notoriously windy and cold, Mount Lucania is nestled deep in the Yukon’s Kluane National Park and Reserve and is just 65 kilometres north of the more well-known Mount Logan Canada’s tallest peak. Mount Lucania’s 5,226 metres has only been climbed by a handful of women.

Two Canadians have just made history as the first all-women team to reach Canada’s third-highest peak.
Pascale Marceau, from Ottawa, and Eva Capozzola, from Golden, B.C., reached the peak of Mt. Lucania an impressive 5,226 metres on the afternoon of April 26. A calm, clear day made for a stellar, breathtaking summit to the top, Marceau described, with the duo grateful for being able to soak in their surroundings without the need to “retreat for fear of freezing extremities or being sucked in by clouds.”
