Supposed to be the best weather of the long weekend but Lake Louise enshrouded in cloud all day. Smoky in Canmore on the way in. Smoky up the icefields. Biked and then ascended Pika along lower bench of scree which was frozen and exposed (not fun). Turned at the col up Pika in the clouds with snow falling. Snow enroute and false summits the higher we went in clouds. Some very sketchy sections and summit ridge was terrifying with snow and one foot either side cliff drop off and slippery. Wind and clouds and snow along the ridge made for some adrenaline both over to the register and back. Descended along trail on upper bench which had thawed and was much better. Biked out for 7h 45m. Great day Rob!
