"West Yoho / MPKK traverse: McArthur - Pollinger - Kiwetinok - Kerr traverse with exit via Iceline trail. Surprisingly, only one recorded summit for 2022 in Mt Kerr (true peak) registry." — alexp • Aug 22, 2022
"As part of a 7 Kane weekend bender and 5 Kane long weekend Monday. Whaleback - Isolated - McArthur - Pollinger - Kiwetinok - Kerr 17.5 hrs 2200m 41km. After Nigel and Wilcox on a casual Sunday I drove to Takkakaw Falls parking lot and shot the shit with Bert before bedding down in the back of the Subaru for rest of the feet (so much better than driving back to Calgary and back in the morning). Up at 4:15am and Rob, Babette, Kelly and I were on the trail at 5am by headlamp. Whaleback is sweet ridge and highly recommended. Isolated is indeed isolated and the glacier was more exciting than expected. First time for Babette and Kelly and we played around a bunch with crampons and then avoiding what were larger than expected holes and crevasses. Tried for a line of ice but turned around when it required a airborne jump. Alternative lower angle approach involved a few very large snow bridge crossings which made for a true mountaineering adventure. Isolated went down at noon for the first Kane of the day. Ascent up and over bergschrund of McArthur was straightforward and we could see the ridge line to Pollinger (a bump) and Kiwetinok which looked prominent. Approaching Kiwentinok looked mo..." — alexjoseph • Aug 6, 2018
"Feli and I backpacked into the Stanley Mitchell Hut for a few days. We left Wednesday, August 1. After packing in, we set up at the hut, ate lunch, then headed out for Kiwetinok Pass and Mount Kerr. Weather was iffy and thunderstorms were definitely a threat. When we got to the pass, the cadet group that was training out there for crevasse rescue on the cornice started packing up and the guides warned us we had better be quick up there. We left our ice axes, poles and bear spray at the ridge and went up anyways! We went straight up for a more hands-on vs wrapping around right on gentler terrain. Sure enough, we got caught in a storm and had to wait it out about a half hour under a rock overhang. When it cleared up we summitted and took the easier way down to the col, collected our things we had left and hiked back to the hut. We did the Kane summit and while I had wanted to do the higher point, Feli thought it best to work with the weather!
