===First ascent=== [[File:Mountain and footprints.JPG|thumb|Mount Logan from the North East, as seen from Kluane Icefield]] In 1922, a geologist approached the [[Alpine Club of Canada]] with the suggestion that the club send a team to the mountain to reach the summit for the first time. An international team of Canadian, British and American climbers was assembled the following year, initially planning an attempt in 1924 but forced by funding and preparation delays to postpone the trip until 1925. The international team of climbers began their journey in early May, crossing the mainland from the Pacific coast by train. They then walked the remaining {{cvt|200|km}} to within {{cvt|10|km}} of the Logan Glacier where they established base camp. In the early evening of June 23, 1925, Albert H. MacCarthy (leader), H.F. Lambart, [[Allen CarpΓ©]], Norman H. Read, [[William Wasbrough Foster|W.W. Foster]], and Andy Taylor stood on top of the summit for the first time.<ref name=vmca_1925/><ref name="parksCanada2"/> It had taken them 65 days to approach the mountain from the nearest town ([[McCarthy, Alaska|McCarthy]] across the border in Alaska), reach the summit, and return, with all climbers intact, although some of them suffered severe frostbite.<ref name=sherman>Sherman pp. 1β38</ref>
