Ascents as various tick types as alpine by topher

Mostly 4th class with optional low 5th sections. Recommend going into the bowl and doing the full ridge to get a view of the glacier. We also got to walk through a 150m long snow cave under one of the snow patches near the base of the route. Lots of loose gravel and boulders on the lower part of the ridge slowed us down, as well as photos of all the mushrooms on the walk. The upper part of the ridge took all of about 15 minutes, with much less loose rock. Wouldn't normally bother roping up for that at all, but it got things moving faster. The walk to Cypress Peak took longer than wanted, but we got to see massive grizzly tracks, and then it was the walk down a super long esker back down to the road and jogging back to the car. About 9.5 hours total, could probably wipe almost 3 hours off if going solo.

Continuing on from the north spire. Mostly scrambling and low 5th until the small pillar at the top. Went straight up the steep crack on the northern side, downclimbing the offwidth on the way back down.

A bit of a choose-your-own-adventure in terms of difficulty. Mostly 3-4th class to within 50m of the summit, then took a wide chimney with twin cracks for about 25m, finding two easily retrieved nuts on the way!

A fun day in the sun. Could have gone a couple of hours faster, but Aeron's first multipitch trad route, and a bit of faffing deciding on where to go. Lots of options, and a super cool place for being so close to town.

Found the 5.8 first pitch a bit of a wakeup, widening a bit more than expected! Not well travelled, top full of lichen and dirt. Finger crack on pitch 2 makes it all worth it though!

Sweet!!! 2 new BD cams! Awesome rock! Amazing setting! Hard to top this for a fun experience.
