Great warm up!

Quite fun moves but over quickly.

Warm up. Tricky crux with worn shoes

Fun day out scrambling, you can choose more challenging routes to make it up to 5.8

Tough crux sequence. Thin holds and bad feet. Great climb

Yuck. Very poor no good dirty rotten climb. Good times all round 😮‍💨

Sustained serious crimping for the grade.

Didn't feel very cruxy at the 3rd bolt...

Nice warmup for the traverse !!

Nice sustained climb on crimps

Fun climb. Reachy 3rd bolt

Alt. Start

Not as hard as it looks

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.

Quality laybacking

Super fun climb! Must do when in area. Fantastic 'small' crimps
