"Started with a clockwise lap of the full loop, 2h19. Moving up the scree this way is not recommended, certainly wouldn't bother if there had not been snow to use as a boot pack. When I returned to the main junction I decided a second lap from there would be fun, this time counterclockwise. From a cardio and fitness standpoint, the idea was good, knees though, were not so convinced. As much as dislike the trek up the East ridge, it is far better than a ramble up the scree going west and the scree(most pushed out scree run in Alberta) is much better running down. 5h25 C2C tagging the summit twice, returning to the main junction in the middle.

"Quick afternoon jot up Yam. Was not sure what the conditions would be like. Despite a few inchs of snow and several feet in wind drifts it was more then do able happy for my hiking boot crampon sorta things though. " — TBird • Oct 18, 2016

"First scramble of the season and it was a good one! Took the west ridge and scree slopes both up and down but looking back, probably should have taken the east ridge up and west ridge down since it was a bit of a slog up the scree. Lovely day and great views!" — cfree • Mar 13, 2016

"Got in very early to take some photos of the early morning light hitting the mountain. Another advantage to getting to the mountain early is that we avoided the large number of people who come to do this easy scramble." — Jase • Jun 15, 2013

"•Trip Activity: Scramble •Location: Kananaskis Country •Attained Summit?: Yes •Trip Date: Saturday, January 22, 2011 •Summit Elevation: 2240m •Elevation Gain: 900m Ok this one got me. I don;t think I have been this scared in a long time! We got a late start so didnt start until about 2pm. And when did we finish?? Anou 9pm!!! the first part is a nice hike as you come up to the sheer rock face you climb through a "chimney" which isnt difficult just awkward with a big pack on. You the travers the back side of the mountain on loose scree. About halway to summit you rach a part where a cable has been installed and you need to traverse a "cliff". The pics will show better. The way down isnt meant to be bad as it is basically a "scree run" meaning loose gravel. So you can basically run down it and the gravel will slow you down. But thats not what happened. We got to the frontside when it was dark and the scree was frozen. So instaead we had to "glisade" a bit and use our ice axes to walk down in pitch black. Lots of fun I tell you. Would like to do this one again in daylight! " — ScRaMbLeRCuTiE • Jan 22, 2011

"Fantastic weather and gorgeous early season ascent. Only dicey section was crossing the gully right after the cliff cable. Nice warm day and quite a few people on the summit. Did scree ski via south slope with a couple from Calgary." — Mountainman • Apr 17, 2010
