"Pretty straight forward route up the route ridge, maybe a few moves of its 5.6 rating but mostly just loose 5.3 and lower. Dont bother bringing much gear, very limited placements and poor rock quality, we maybe had 5 or 6 placements over the entire ridge." — corbinruthven • Sep 5, 2022

"Summited with Corbin who posted a trip report. To add to it: didn’t place any gear smaller then a .75 cam (nuts included) crux was protectable with a yellow offset and a green nut I believe. Wouldn’t give the route the 2 stars that it has in the book " — Rocky Mountain Goats • Sep 5, 2022

"The service road that you start on is closed for bear activity just after the turn for the TH. The trail is accessible, but there’s obviously a bear in the area. Be cautious. The was a straightforward ascent with minimal route finding other than deciding what route to take once you’re above the tree line. I chose the most (climbers) left route, called the “common easier variation” in Kane’s Scrambles. The crux is a described in many trip reports, extreme exposure, but brief. There are descent holds traversing this section. After that, if you feel like you’re rock climbing at any point, you’re off trail. The only variation to this variation is there is a trail at the top of that route that leads you over the ridge to the west side. It looked quite beaten in. From there you can choose some fun ridge scrambling, or skirt around a lot of it via scree ledges. In some areas, it probably best to take the scree and avoid loose narrow sections. Great views from this well situated peak. Also… the summit register may not be at the actual high point. I recorded 1m higher going all the way to the furthest North high point.

"Left Calgary at 7 A.M. and headed to the Highwood. We met some other folks that were heading up as well and we were the second party on the route. We were spaced well/evenly and there was a party behind us that was also a good distance behind to keep everything safe. We met the first group just near the first cairn, then went to the north cairn and had a great lunch break. On our way back almost at the end of the ridge we met the third group. There was a fourth group that waited down at the col for us to descend fully before going up. Everyone was really smart about things, had their helmets and was very careful - perfectly orchestrated! Views were spectacular. This one had some decent exposure and hands-on. We avoided the exposed gully traverse by staying right on the rib up to the wall, then traversed left underneath it to the main common route. Took the same route back.

"Interesting scramble for the last 200 vertical meters. I found it to be more on the easier side of "difficult" scrambling. The summit ridge is a bit airy in a few spots; it felt spicy with the wind gusts of up to 60kph." — Taras • Jul 21, 2018

"After spending 3 months in SE Asia, I returned from sea level and my brother was in town and we needed to get up something. So again, go with what you know and we headed to Highwood Pass with some trepidation that my legs may not be in shape. I remember this one as short and steep with some spicy routefinding.
