The President is a mountain peak on the "The President/Vice-President Massif", just North of Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, near the Alpine Club of Canada's Stanley Mitchell hut.

The President was named "Shaugnessy" in 1904 by Edward Whymper after Thomas Shaugnessy, the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1907, the mountain was renamed by the Alpine Club of Canada, after it was discovered that the name had already been used on a mountain in the Selkirks.

Routes

There appears to be only one route up the President -- up the President glacier to the col, then scramble up talus to the peak.
