Edith Cavell

Long before it carried a nurse's name, this peak was a signpost for the fur trade: voyageurs bound for Athabasca Pass knew it as La Montagne de la Grande Traverse, the mountain where they left the main valley for the long climb to the divide. Surveyors later called it Fitzhugh, after a railway director. In 1916, months after Edith Cavell was executed in Brussels for sheltering Allied soldiers and helping them escape, it was renamed in her honour. At 3,363 m, it rises about 24 km south of Jasper and is the most prominent summit wholly within Alberta. The Angel Glacier drapes its wings over a 300 m cliff on the north face, in full view of the Cavell Meadows trail. Its first ascent came in 1915, and its north face remains a celebrated climb.

Our solid hardwood cribbage boards are modeled with actual topographic data to capture any place on earth. Each board has a storage space for three sets of metal pegs behind a custom-etched stainless steel door. Boards measure roughly 350mm (13.5”) long by 190mm (7.5") wide by 90mm (3.5”) tall and are finished with tung oil for durability and a slight sheen. Additional options include a custom message or logo etched on the stainless steel door tag (32 characters max, +$10), and an engraved name, message or logo on the side or underside of the board (+$20 standard, +$40 with a contrasting filler). Side and underside engraving is sized to fit the board, typically no taller than 1 inch (25 mm). For a logo, email a PNG to info@knurl.ca after you order.

Our products are designed, crafted, and finished in Alberta, Canada.
