Mount Cernier (Lysian: Mont Cernier) is one of Eurth's mountains. Located in the south region of the Rocky. Mount Cernier is the highest mountain in Louvier in the Southwest, and a classic destination in Aurelian mountaineering.

Geography

Mont Cernier, at 13,775 feet (4,199 m), is the highest point in the Rocky Mountains and the highest peak in Louvier. The mountain lies entirely within the Spider River watershed, which it feeds through several local streams and glaciers.

Etymology

The name would have been given to it by Louvian lysian members of an expedition during the 17th century.

History

The Mount was climbed for the first time in 1871 by a Louvian pioneer named Joseph Sullieux. After accusations about the veracity of his words, he tried the ascent again in 1872 and reached the top without a hitch. But he fell during the descent and died tragically.

In 1981, a first winter ascent was made by Sam Belloci and Marc Aurèle.

Cernier's Man

Main article: Cernier's Man

In 1891, a trapper discovered underneath a small cliff, during a climb on the west flank of the mount, human remains belonging to a giant humanoid of approximately 14 feet (4.2m). After several investigations by the authorities of the region, a large wooden club was discovered next to the remains. The skeleton was moved to the National Museum of Saint-Philippe to be further studied. It has been exhibited there since 1898.
