"Snow Peak" - Scramble

Plan A for September 23 was to go rock climbing, trad climbing; alpine if the weather allowed us back to an unfinished route or a valley crag. Well my buddy went sport climbing on Sunday the 22nd and took a lead fall and injured his hand and wrist. Glad he wasn’t seriously hurt but he couldn’t climb today. Sigh. We went for a hike, poor guy couldn’t even hold a pole, so feet only.

Looks blustery.

I will climb there one day... been thinking of trying that for decades...

View back to Mt. Smuts as we gain elevation enroute to Burstall Pass.

We settled on “Snow Peak” beside Burstall Pass. Good hike in blustery weather, lots of high winds and a wee bit of snow. Lots of snow on Mt. Sir Douglas. Some nice larches. A casual 6 hours car to car. A relaxing day. Hopefully more outdoor rock before ice climbing.
