French Creek
Kananaskis Country Trail Guide
August 29, 1999

I had the pleasure of leading five ladies up French Creek. It was a leisurely day with several stops along the way.

On the way to French Glacier we ran into a couple of climbers. One of the them, Sim, I knew from past hikes, but I was pleased when she introduced me to her climbing partner, Alan Kane, author of Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies. They had just finishing climbing Mount Robertson.
