"Wasoonaskis Peak" (GR 338442) - Scramble

Listed in Andrew Nugara’s More Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies book as GR338442. The prominence of GR338442 from the ”Kananaskis Peak” col is probably only about 20 meters, maybe since the “peak” appears separate from the Kananaskis highway it is listed separately?

Andrew likes to combine names of nearby named peaks to create names for unnamed peaks, so I used his method to create a name for this summit using Andrew’s made up names for nearby peaks; Wasootch Peak and Kananaskis Peak = Wasoonaskis Peak. Easy, breezy day out, less than 5 hours car to car; I was also hungover. Good spot to get some fresh air while the avi conditions are high.

Looking up the gully towards the summit, but the summit is out of sight still.
