Mount Celeste is the unofficial name for a mountain located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It shares the name Celeste with two peaks in the Cariboo region of the BC Interior. Within the boundaries of Strathcona Provincial Park, this peak lies at the north end of Rees Ridge. Iceberg Peak lies at the south end of this ridge.
The first ascent of this peak is credited to Jack Horbury and Jock Sutherland on August 18, 1934.
Mount Celeste served as an inspiration in the 2018 platforming video game Celeste. The game is about the personal struggles the main character Madeline faces as she attempts to climb the mountain.[2] The mountain is also shown on the Instagram page of in-game character Theo.[3]
