A part of a 3-day loop through North and South Kananaskis Passes. On the 1st day, we ascended Mount Jellicoe from Turbine Canyon CG. Winter conditions above 3000m turned this scramble into a mountaineering trip. I didn't use ropes but I can see why people rope up for the final summit ridge in the winter. It is exposed on the both sides with several hundred meters drop-off on the east side. In a few places the ridge narrows down to a few inches - I straddled these section. Then the ridge widens slightly so straddling isn't possible. It is interrupted by 2 exposed downclimbs. This was the crux for me as I had to do a few climbing moves with marginal holds due to the snow and ice.

I'm sure it's much easier when dry. Still, Kane is out of his mind to call it an "easy scrambling" and place in the same league as Ha Ling.
