Lake Louise Alpine

So last Friday I met up with Jeff, Amitai and Zach for a climb of the classic "unnamed peak" near Lake Louise. We attempted it a few weeks ago only to get turned around by marginal weather and conditions. It was a great day in the mountains as we made our way up the ridge, weaving around loose or snowy sections, taking in the deep hues of the changing Larches and marveling at the chance to be in such a place.


The fellas coming up over the small snowpatch that signals the start of the route.
The first rock step. There are three of these steps, all close together and the first two are of similar difficulty. Probably about 5.6.
Rapelling the route after a great day. The snow slowed us down a bit and took a few hours.

A good day, thanks guys!
