"Like the sacred Fuji Yama of Japan, Crow's Nest mountain rises abruptly out of the earth, with no other mountains within miles," wrote P. D. McTavish. He was recounting the second recorded ascent of the peak in 1905. His relatively inexperienced party took a circuitous route and it seems they encountered serious climbing. By comparison, the "tourist route" used today is much easier and, incidentally, was first ascended in 1915 as a solo trip. It is an eye-catching little peak and worth the time if you're in the area. Try from June on. |
