"Syncline mountain 3 peaks loop , Nugara route.Peak 1 easy walk , a tiny bit of bushwhacking. From peak 1 to peak 2 I traversed ledges on the right side( moderate) . From peak 2 to 3 I dropped gullies on S side than traversed to the col between peaks . I took Nugara’s recommended ridge crest route ( difficult scramble) , through couple of rockbands. Scrambling is indeed good and interesting here, second band is exposed ( as Andrew mentions), but rock quality is good. From Peak 3 I descended slopes towards Suicide Cree- which was pretty bad - much of it is rather than nasty bushwhacking. I stayed close to the creek , perhaps staying bit higher on the left side would have been better…" — PawelG • Aug 24, 2024

Started on Castle Road up to the first peak and descended the third peak through Suicide Creek with a quick visit at the small hanging lake on the way down. Plenty of bushwhacking; hard to find suitable routes on the descent. " — danielvanderpyl • Jul 5, 2022

Got changed in the very last moment (initially Ya-Ha-Tinda was planned) and it was my first time in Castle Provincial Park. Believe it should carry the second, unofficial name: "Escape from crowds". With all busy places anywhere from Kananaskis to Jasper, it's such a drastic contrast. The only our company was a goat family that was showing a way for most of the day, from Syncline to almost Haig. The route was 99% dry and free of snow. Actually, the worst section in terms of snow was the ski resort. It still does have lots of it and was really annoying. For the rest - either bare dry or some minimal amounts that didn't affect at all and will be gone by the next weekend. Mt Syncline A massive mountain with three distinct summits, with prominence of at least 150m each. Guess they ran out of names and it got called as Syncline 1 ("East") - 2 ("Midway) - 3 (main); 2,441m, 2,482m and 2,503m correspondingly. The second biggest patch of snow was on east slopes of the First Peak. But was avoid..." — alexp • Jun 2, 2019
