"We modified the route by going up the SW Ridge of Wasootch. We also added an additional peak (Peakery) by doing an out-and-back from Kananaskis Peak to one of her outliers. To start, we parked at Evan-Thomas Creek Day Use area because this is where we would finish. We then biked mostly down hill for about 5km to the unmarked Trailhead for the SW ridge to Wasootch Peaks. On decent from Wasootch North, we dipped into the bowl on the east side. Chelsea and I each ended up on separate routes (one high, one low), both worked. This helped avoid additional elevation gain if we were to back track all the way to Wasootch South. Scrambling along the ridge was a lot of fun. As mentioned in many other trip reports, you have the option to take scree bypasses around many sections. We didn’t take any of the bypasses and found the scrambling to be quite enjoyable (class 2/3 in my opinion). The rock was solid anytime we felt real exposure. So my recommendation would be to favour the ridge when presented with an option. If you don’t like exposure, or your trying to minimize trip duration, take the bypasses. It felt like 75% of the traverse was straightforward ridge walking with eas..." — ivo • Jul 29, 2023

"Solo go up the big traverse, mostly easy to moderate scrambling depending on the line you take on the ridge, very similar in difficulty and length to the opal traverse. Coming down from volcano peak to the road is an absolute pain, it took me 4 hours to get to that point and a further 2 hours to do 1 km of the most brutal bushwhacking ever, just a spiderweb of burnt fallen trees at about waist height on quite steep terrain. Follow the gps line and you should be able to get to the logging road to get out of there… Good Luck " — corbinruthven • Sep 17, 2022

"Traversed from S peak. Don't let the spring date fool you, it was winter conditions. Tried to go lower, bad idea. Steep smooth rock slabs covered with powdery snow. Took 45 minutes to cross over, 15 to come back sticking to rocky ridge. 1 moderate move, minor exposure. " — apfelstrudel • Apr 1, 2018

"Finally was able to do this trip as it was on the to-do list for a while. The objective was the Big Traverse in Nugara's book: Wasootch Pk, Kananaskis Peak, GR338442, Oldy Baldy and MacDougall, Volcano Peak. We read that it was a 6 km walk along the highway back to the car so we decided to bring our bikes to stash them on the Evan Thomas creek side of the traverse as we were doing this from north to south. We met at 5 am in the morning (was a little late getting going and actually left calgary at 515). After stashing the bikes and locking them we were ready to go at the trail head to approach Wasootch at 650 am. Summitted all peaks." — dkmountainman • Sep 29, 2011
