MOUNT
EDITH
Elevation:
2554m
Difficulty: Moderate/difficult scrambling for each peak
Round Trip Time: 6-10 hours
Height Gain: 1120m
Map: 82 O/4 Banff |
Mount Edith sports three separate
summits offering interesting and sometimes exposed scrambling.
Access is by a popular hiking trail. A dogtooth mountain like
its northerly and more famous neighbour Mount Louis, Mount
Edith is an uplift of Devonian age Palliser limestone-a 500
m-thick formation of sound rock prized by climbers. Palliser
rock forms great grey cliffs on many mountains, fortunately it
does not present a barrier to scramblers on this one. Dry
conditions and a helmet are recommended. Try this outing from
June on. |
