"Eon Mountain - Sep 3-4 2020. 3310m. Climbed Eon Mountain yesterday, a striking peak that gets overshadowed by the nearby famous Mt Assiniboine, and doesn't see much ascents because of that (plus the fact that it is a hair under 11,000ft). The bivy location at the headwaters of Eon Creek is fantastic, lots of soft ground, some trees, and a couple of streams nearby. It's reachable in 3 hours or less from the car, you'll gain just over 800m. The hike up Eon creek is easy enough, with a bit of easy/moderate scrambling higher up to skirt some cliffs. We parked at the Assiniboine Lake pull out because of my low clearance car, but you could park even closer/higher with an SUV or truck. The climb from the bivy site starts with an easy but annoying shale bash for almost 200m until you skirt the SW ridge. You then traverse out onto the SW face crossing the gully, staying right of the main couloir until you gain the grey band at 2850m. It is mentioned in Rockies South that there are no difficulties here, but we did end up on some 4th or low 5th climbing on good rock which appeared the be the best way. It was easy enough to climb up but required inward facing down climbing for a long time w..." — jakefinnan • Sep 4, 2020

"Eon Mountain - September 3-4, 2020. Beautiful bivy location and an interesting climb (in more ways than one) up the mountain. It's handy getting out with Jake as it allows me to be lazy with reporting information, instead I'll defer you to his detailed trip report ;) " — hollywilliams • Sep 4, 2020
