Christian Peak - a.k.a. Lyell 5 or L5 - is the least tall of five distinct subpeaks on Mount Lyell (Canada) and is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia. It was named in 1972 by Sydney R. Vallance after Christian Hässler, Jr.[3][4]

Due to the close proximity of this peak to the central peak (1.6 km (1 mi)), see Mount Lyell for geology and climate.
