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.
