Like
nearby Mount Fairview, Mount St. Piran is just a hike, but for
an easy day out with a fine view it is worth doing. The view
of surrounding peaks is outstanding, and whether you decide to
traverse it or not, the return ties in well with a visit to
Lake Agnes Teahouse for eats and treats. An ascent of Mount
Niblock (described elsewhere) could easily be tagged on for a
very full day. To traverse it in early summer usually requires
an ice axe. Try from mid-June on. |
