Cegnfs

"Can't say I'd recommend either of these peaks but the view atop both peaks is beautiful. A bit bushy, so wear your pants and don't do it after any precipitation as you'd get drenched. We walked up Murray and found no scrambling, except for the summit block which had one easy move. Lots of treadmill scree on these peaks, if you're into that sorta thing. We did the route counter-clockwise, meaning we did Mount Murray first and then over to CEGNFS. IMO this is the correct way to do these peaks, you avoid some of the treadmilling ascending CEGNFS first, instead you replace it with a great scree descent down. Not much more to say! We were aiming for 8 hours but somehow came in quicker at 7 hours and 15 minutes, pretty happy with that considering we both felt weaker than usual." — hollywilliams • Aug 21, 2025

"Mt Murray and its silly shoulder hump with a dumb name. Straightforward, easy scramble, but that's just the technical rating... This is a pure scree slog, and you WILL suffer. A lot. If you want to do a 15km day with 1380m gain that feels like 2000m+ for some peaks nobody has heard of, well this is the outing for you. We read that "it's not that bad, the Kane effect really helped this one along".... I mean sure, the trail in the alpine helps you find your way back, but make no mistake, this is treadmill torture for most of it. Nobody should go up here unless there's something wrong with you. Do something else with your time, like trying to breathe water. You have been warned. If you liked this outing, please block me. " — jakefinnan • Aug 21, 2025

"Class 2 terrain ("easy/easier moderate scrambling"). I missed the Kane chimney and walked up to the summit on a decent trail, no scrambling, some exposure. On the way back, I found a narrow dully further west of Kane chimney, "easier moderate scrambling". Mt. Murray has at least 3 routes to the top, all fairly easy. A distinct trail from the top of Cegnfs to Murray makes it a more pleasant route than many people describe. The same goes for the descent trail that bypasses Cegnfs. But I found the scree on the way to Cegnfs very loose and frustrating. A better way to do Murray-Cegnfs is probably in the counter-clockwise direction." — Taras • Oct 19, 2022

"Less smoky than expected. A little circuitous route finding on the way in. Stayed west of French Creek until after 1st waterfall. Then crossed a nice tree and followed flagged trail and then decided to bushwack up Cegnfs from north/left side of drainage. A sparse 1 page summit register with a 1994 post and a post from Bert B and Wil!" — alexjoseph • Aug 13, 2017

"Beautiful sunny day. Very interesting and colourful rock formations through the "rock gates". Quite a scree slog up the upper portion of the west slopes, but not as bad as we expected. Summited Cegnfs on the way to Mount Murray." — PaulHoch • Aug 29, 2016
