"Solo trip, very long one(35km). Slopes on Warrior are steps like, pleasant to ascend, not much scree. Glacier has receded a lot in the last years and it’s very small now. Ridge connecting warrior and cordonnier has some exposure on it but scrambling is never hard. Moderate with exposure is the best to describe it in my opinion. Amazing views along the way. Steep scree slopes of alternate descent were probably the least pleasant part of this otherwise awesome trip." — Pawel G • Jul 29, 2023

"Brendan and I took a rare free spot at Aster lake and a clear late season forecast to go climb Warrior and Cordonnier. Hidden lake is dried up, which made for easier travel than the dreaded Hidden Lake trail. We had great warm weather and clear skies. The glacier traverse to the col was easily travelled, we did not uncover any crevasses and there was ~10 cm making to good travel. The ridge line to Warrior was mostly snow-clear with only a few patches that could have bee avoided. The traverse to Cordonnier looked snow, but luckily the places that mattered were snow free. I am not sure I agree with the rating of EASY for the traverse, there are a fre spots with exposure, the step at the end of the first slab felt a bit sketchy in a no-fall zone, and there were a couple of very narrow ridge with so-so rock quality. I think Moderate is a more reasonable rating. We did the alternate descent, which had snow in the gully which helped. Joffre looked in not too bad shape, but the 'schrund would be an issue. The scramble alternative on the East ridge would be your best bet in these conditions. If I counted properly, Warrior was my 175th unique summit in AB, and Cordonnier my 50th Kane scr..." — apfelstrudel • Sep 25, 2021

"After turning around on joffre that morning, the sky opened up for the afternoon, so we skied Warrior mountain form the summit. summit ridge was thin, ice and blown snow, but lower slopes made for an easy wide corn turn line. " — ken_hercules • May 16, 2020

"CSMC Aster Lake trip. Day 1 was surprisingly smoke free and bagged Sarrail on approach into Aster Lake and was lured by Warrior and Cordonnier and so bagged them in the evening getting to Warrior right at sunset and descending off the glacier with headlamps. 16.5 hrs / 38 km / close to 3000m ascent." — alexjoseph • Aug 19, 2017

"Feli, Christine and I backpacked into Aster Lake Friday afternoon and went up the two peaks on Saturday. We roped up on the remnant glacier, just to be safe. Warrior was easy and straightforward. We enjoyed a sweet glissade down!" — leigh-annewebster • Jul 22, 2017

"From Aster Lake up snowy gullies and icefield to col then scree to summit. 6 hours 20 min from parking lot. Then back to col to do Cordonnier. Led an ACC trip with two other participants." — KrisT • Aug 7, 1999
