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.
