Route: from the Goat Creek car park 3km along a dirt road beyond the Canmore Nordic centre, backtracking 100m to find a distinct trail rising through trees to reach a steepening rocky spur and more or less following this until it reaches the broader scree strewn flank of the mountain. Zigzagging up this to reach a choice of paths: spurning the more exposed looking ridge path to the right for a path heading up and left into a gulley sloping diagonally right to cross a rock band and then on by a cairned route to the summit ridge with views back over Canmore but stopping short of the highest point in deference to T's now 'spronged' vertigo. Retracing the same route though with some use of the 'tough and rubbery' by one of us on the gulley descent.
Conditions: warm sun though cool air and still on the top.
Pub: The Wood Lounge, Canmore for Big Rock Monkey's Fist.
