Very enjoyable scrambling near the summit. 60-70kph wind gusts spiced up the final part. I crawled through the exposed section.
We forded Kananaskis River in the morning (water was crotch-deep). The river rose substantially in the afternoon. River ford would have been suicidal in such conditions so we walked instead to Nakiska Ski Resort and hitched a ride back to the car.
