Mount Tecumseh | 2012-10-07

|
Mount Tecumseh was my last peak in Kane's Crowsnest section. I actually attempted it before but once I got bottom of it, I changed my mind and went up Phillipps Peak instead.
Approach:
There are 2 ways to get to Tecumseh, from BC side or AB side. I always approach from AB side. I park near a railway crossing, Phillipps Pass is very close from there. After 3.5 km from the parking, I went off-road and started ascending. It is probably good idea to go off-road at a drainage but I was little impatient and I went up before the drainage. After this, the route is pretty straight forward. Follow the drainage and then curve slightly to NW to get to scree slope.
Scree and Ridge:
Not much to say. I went straight up a typical scree slope with some slabby sections then followed the ridge to the summit.
Note:
Many peaks near Crowsnest tend to be early season peaks. However this one is not one of them, maybe due to its shape and accumulate more snow.
