EIFFEL PEAK
Elevation:
3084m
Difficulty: Moderate scrambling via southeast slopes
Round Trip Time: 4.5-9 hours
Height Gain: 1230m
Map: 82 N/8 Lake Louise |
Eiffel Peak overlooks the Valley of Ten Peaks, a scene once
pictured on Canadian $20 bills. The entire landscape is
dazzling. If the weather is unsettled, this scramble is a
practical alternative to more demanding Mount Temple and gives
a good view of Mount Temple's normal route. With Eiffel's
spectacular location amid the Rockies' grandeur, it should be
on any scrambler's list. Although there may be bigger peaks
nearby, the summit view here ranks with the best. Try this from
July on. |
