We drove up Friday after work to Nordegg and stayed at the Shunda Creek Hostel. Most everyone else had cancelled their reservations due to weather, so it was super quiet. Saturday it was wet snow first thing and so we decided to drive towards Vision Quest, but opted to keep going and try Tuff Puff since we really want to be able to see Abraham Lake in all its glory from VQ and that wasn't going to happen this time! We met one guy out by himself just coming down and the rest of the day was just us. Lots of deer out. We brought snowshoes, which we used for probably the last 200m of the ascent and I had even brought crampons in case of hard snow - I used them right at the end to go up the pinnancle. Visibility was poor and we had no views. Hopefully, next time we go back there will be clear skies. It was still good to get 970ms of gain though to warm up for the scrambling season.
