"Pretty rough day. Trip was part of a Great Divide Trail trip. Left from Jutland Creek campsite at 7am. Scarpe campsite is closer, but has no water. Ascended the Coulotte Ridge with a little routefinding. Upon getting to the Ridge discovered we had more to do than expected. Ascending the south slopes of La Coulotte Peak was fine, but we stayed too far west and got caught in scree. I bagged the Peak which has a cairn and broken lunchbox but nothing else. My hiking partner was suffering from exhaustion/dehydration so he skipped the peak, then we had to ascend/descend 2 more unnammed peaks on the trail. By the third one, my partner could not continue, so I ascended the fourth, bagged some snow, descended to the 3rd col, melted, filtered, tabbed the snow, waited for hydration to do its work, before re-ascending the 4th unnammed, then regained the long trail back down to West Castle Road campsite which has tons of water. Great reminder to start early, plan out your day and have backups and to be flexible when needed to get down safely. 4th unnammed peak seemed to host a Bald Eagle nest, which was pretty sweet.
