Pink line is the actual track I took which was recorded by my GPS. We have missed a turn and both routes (ascend or descend) are not on the trail. Stats shown above is from our trip not for the official trail.

If you see this view, you have just missed the turn, so go back 50m or so and look for a trail sign.

Once we get up the high, it became flat but I got already tired dealing snow. It is rare to get tired before arriving summit. This is no good.

After 20 min, the blizzard disappeared. SE summit and mountain on the left is Mount McGillvray.

Because we missed the turn we added extra few km to our trip. Finally there is the true summit.
