Red line is the actual track I took up to where I went which was recorded by my GPS.
Heavy haze stayed for almost entire summer. I haven't seen such a clear visivility for months. What a day to go hike!
Mark challenging warm up scramble.
This ridge takes us to the peak. At the end of the ridge, rubble slope awaits.
This ridge wasn't as sharp as I expected. Scrambles weren't too bad neither.
Still never underestimate mountains. One slip you are gone.
I found a big fossil. It was maybe 12 cm long. Not sure what it is though.
This is the same spot as the picture in Kane's scramble book. Spray Lakes behind.

At the top. The Tower. I failed for the first time, I need to finish this one sometimes.
West side.
North side.
Mount Assiniboine looked so close yet I could see it so clearly.
We chose to take different ridge for decsent. Of course, with the ridge walker, what I was thinking. This route is different from Kane's book or other websites' routes that I found.
Turned out to be this ridge was sharper and more challenging. Me with my Hulk gloves.

Turned out to be this ridge was far more challenging. We went off-route and created ourselves the crux of the day, tradition continues!! Climber's scramble, but you can easily avoid this rock band by start decsending along from here.
This is what happens when a bear cheat on his wife.
I think no matter which route you take, bushwacking is not avoidable. Our route had a long bushwhacking to get back to the car.
