"with one way from Cameron Lake trailhead to the village. The best value for $25 you can get there 😆
Family did Carthew Minor and main summit, and then relaxed by the second lake while waiting.
A downclimb off Carthew Minor is a spicy preview of Buchanan traverse, which is much longer and sustained." — alexp • Jul 13, 2025
"BBC Traverse: Buchanan Ridge - Buchanan Peak - Mt. Carthew. "Easy scramble" (Class 1/2) to Buchanan Ridge, "moderate" or "difficult" scramble (Class 2/3) to Buchanan Peak, most difficulties could be bypassed by climber's left. "Difficult" scramble (Class 3) to Mt. Carthew. Instead of traversing all way towards the major cliff band's end, we chose a harder route, which was solid Class 4." — Taras • Jul 9, 2023
"Beautiful sunny weekend. After camping at the base of Alderson the night before in what was esentially a cyclone wind tunnel I enjoyed a solo ascent to the Carthew Alderson col before making the final push to Carthew summit" — Mountainman • Aug 22, 2009
