Description
Located northwest of Mount Lawson it forms the northwest end of the long ridge that extends southeast to near Lower Kananaskis Lake. There is a moderate scrambling route that uses the route up the east face of Mount Lawson, then goes northwest from the ridge top to the summit. The mountain has an aesthetic east ridge but the rock quality is poor. It was named in 1917 after the HMS Inflexible which was a battle cruiser in the Royal Navy that fought in the Battle of Jutland and the Battle of the Falkland Islands.
Thanks to Kevin Altheim for this description.
