FIVE FINGERS GROUP

The Five Fingers group as seen from a helicopter over Pitt Lake

The 'Five Fingers Group' (also know as ''The Five Fingers'') is a group of summits on the divide between Pitt Lake and Coquitlam Lake and north of Widgeon Lake, in British Columbia, Canada[1][2]. The nearest populated area is Coquitlam. The peaks, all part of the same massif, are named for the fingers of a hand, but none of the names are official[3][4][5][6]
The area is extremely remote and inaccessible.
The peaks are:

Middle Finger (mountain) 1890 m (6201 ft), the highest

The Thumb (mountain) 1815 m (5955 ft)

The Forefinger (mountain) 1741 m (5712 ft)

Little Finger (mountain) 1732 m (5682 ft)
