"We modified the route by going up the SW Ridge of Wasootch. We also added an additional peak (Peakery) by doing an out-and-back from Kananaskis Peak to one of her outliers. To start, we parked at Evan-Thomas Creek Day Use area because this is where we would finish. We then biked mostly down hill for about 5km to the unmarked Trailhead for the SW ridge to Wasootch Peaks. On decent from Wasootch North, we dipped into the bowl on the east side. Chelsea and I each ended up on separate routes (one high, one low), both worked. This helped avoid additional elevation gain if we were to back track all the way to Wasootch South. Scrambling along the ridge was a lot of fun. As mentioned in many other trip reports, you have the option to take scree bypasses around many sections. We didn’t take any of the bypasses and found the scrambling to be quite enjoyable (class 2/3 in my opinion). The rock was solid anytime we felt real exposure. So my recommendation would be to favour the ridge when presented with an option. If you don’t like exposure, or your trying to minimize trip duration, take the bypasses. It felt like 75% of the traverse was straightforward ridge walking with eas..." — ivo • Jul 29, 2023

"Solo go up the big traverse, mostly easy to moderate scrambling depending on the line you take on the ridge, very similar in difficulty and length to the opal traverse. Coming down from volcano peak to the road is an absolute pain, it took me 4 hours to get to that point and a further 2 hours to do 1 km of the most brutal bushwhacking ever, just a spiderweb of burnt fallen trees at about waist height on quite steep terrain. Follow the gps line and you should be able to get to the logging road to get out of there… Good Luck " — corbinruthven • Sep 17, 2022

"Traversed from Old Baldy to McDougall to Volcano Peak. First stop of the day. Beautiful day. Early on the peak was in the cloud but fortunately it blew away by the time we made it up there! Really great views of kananaskis - some of the best views on the east side of highway 40. Couple fun scramble steps up the slab!" — lizimhof • Jun 20, 2021

"CSMC trip: 6-peak traverse, from Wasootch to Old Baldy to McDougall. See comments in McDougall for the full report. Old Baldy: nice and easy ridge walk, very straightforward. " — alexp • Jun 14, 2015

"Did it as a part of Old Baldy - McDougall - Volcano Peak Traverse. It was a very intense scramble. The final section is dangerous in winter if it is snow covered and especially if the snow is icy. " — Taras • Apr 9, 2015
