Most scramblers are oblivious to the fine little peak in Kootenay National Park, probably because it is out of sight of the busy Trans-Canada Highway. Starting mere minutes from Highway 93, this steep but satisfying ascent requires no routefinding and offers a view almost immediately. Apart from the final shaley ridge the outing is little more than a strenuous hike. Try from mid-june on.
