"I gave Feli a list of a few Kane peaks that I had on my mind. I was hoping she'd agree on Aylmer since the seasonal restrictions were coming July 10 and I didn't want to walk the entire approach. She and I were of like mind and we left Calgary bright and early hoping to avoid any thunderstorms. The bike in took just over an hour and then we took the trail (left fork) towards Aylmer Pass before heading up the avalanche gully. On the way up we stayed close to the ridge and ended up doing the sketchy downclimb. Then we made our way up. Weather was starting to come in, so summit views were a bit more limited, but we did it and headed back down. On the return, we avoided the crux and traversed a number of remaining snow slopes back to the col. We opted not to go to Aylmer Lookout and just retraced our steps. The mountain bike ride back was a bit slower since we had to push up the one big hill. We also had an incident: my bear spray cannister somehow fell out of its holder onto the ground and perforated. It nearly choked us. I ultimately had to empty it by spraying it into the woods, then wrapped it in a plastic bag to seal in the leaking spray. I carried it out in the water..." — leigh-annewebster • Jul 7, 2020
"7.5km bike and 7.5km ascent mostly in snow but made for rapid descent. Some snowflakes on summit. 9 hrs return. Great day with Lana, Gerry, Curtis, Wayne and Jamshaid.

"What a slog!
Liz got a flat early on...so much for the bike approach.
99.99% hiking. 0.01% difficult scrambling. I know the crux can be avoided, but it not a typical Kane moderate.
Dry.
Great views.
It can be done as a not too long daytrip without a bike." — mike_rogers81 • May 26, 2018
"A long and strenuous easy scramble. Recent snow added more challenge but also made the scenery more beautiful.
I highly recommend the ascent via Aylmer Lookout (very scenic ridgewalk) and the descend towards Aylmer Pass (awesome scree run)" — Taras • Sep 15, 2014
