"Up North face down West Ridge, 3 day trip. Lots of mosquitoes on the lengthy approach. Not much snow below the glacier so we used the fifth class headwall to access the bivy site, on the way out we were able to downclimb with no rappels. The glacier below the North face had enough snow to bridge many of the crevasses but we still had to weave in and out to avoid holes. The lower glacier didn't have snow and we stepped over many man-sized slots. The North face itself was steep with some short sections of front-pointing - having two axes was very useful. Summit views were pretty spectacular from the highest point in Banff NP! The West ridge descent was straightforward and we plunge-stepped pretty much the whole thing. " — BobbyG • Jul 2, 2017
"Left camp at 415 am. When we arrived at the toe of the glacier, it took us 2 hours to cross the glacier as the crevesses were very wide and deep. We took the route to gain the West Ridge. Very poor snow conditions as the freeze overnight was horrible. Slick snow over ice. We did a running belay and then led a small rock pitch to get onto the ridge. Scrambled / hiked to the summit. The summit was covered in snow / corniced. It was very cloudy with little visibility." — dkmountainman • Aug 7, 2012
