Ha Ling Peak. Ha Ling Peak is a peak at the northwestern end of Mount Lawrence Grassi — a mountain located immediately south of the town of Canmore just east of the Spray Lakes road in Alberta's Canadian Rockies.
It was previously named Chinaman's Peak but the name was changed to be less offensive.[3] Origin of the name[edit] The name of the mountain has been subject to much controversy. Originally, the mountain was referred to locally as The Beehive.[4] In 1896 Ha Ling, a Chinese cook for the Canadian Pacific Railway (some say the Okaloosa Hotel in Canmore) was bet 50 dollars that he could not climb the peak and plant a flag on the summit in less than 10 hours.
According to the Medicine Hat News of October 24, 1896, he started the ascent at 7:00 am the previous Saturday morning and was back in time for lunch. Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument - Climbing Mount St. Helens. Bill Information Washington Legislature bills.
