Traversed over from Moose Mountain East. There is some enjoyable scrambling as one approaches Moose Mountain South. The last bit was a bit tricky, and the snow had just receded enough for me to get the ascent in. Meanwhile, on Moose Mountain, two helicopters were provisioning the Moose Mountain lookout.
