Ambition Mountain is a mountain in British Columbia, Canada, located 17 km (11 mi) east of the Stikine River and 26 km (16 mi) northwest of Scud Peak.[1] The mountain was originally named Mount Ambition on a 1935 Canadian Geological Survey map but was changed to Ambition Mountain on 6 May 1954, as it was the long-standing local name used by riverboat navigators and prospectors.[4]
