Objective for the day was Shunga-La-She and the connecting ridge up GR569046. We met in Calgary at 6:20 am and headed down to the Sandy McNabb area. It was the first time for both of us to head in to this provincial park. I was planning on heading in the area last winter to do some cross country skiing but never got around to it. We were quite surprised to see how paved the roads were past the winter gate. Again since we only have another month until all the road closures on highway 66, 40, 940, etc. we wanted to hit this area before Dec 1. Instead of taking Spirko or Nugara's route we decided to bring our bikes in so we wouldn't have to do the wading of the sheep river, which would be pretty damn cold at this time of the year. We parked our bikes a few kms in and right after the bridge along the gravel road. From there we went straight up. There was quite a lot of flagging tape on the way up. We summitted both peaks. From Shunga La She to the summit of GR569046 the snow was very stiff which says to me that it gets extremely windy in the area. It was tough to get grip on the stiff snow with the boot so i put on the icers. They helped tremendously
