Nigel Peak

A great scramble with beautiful views along the way. We started from the Icefields Campsite which was a mistake as it added unnecessary distance. |
Nigel Peak from Columbia Icefields.
Hiking to the base of Nigel Peak
Slogging up to the first ridge.
We get our first good look at the summit
Traversing above the bowl
Crossing the basin below the summit.
Plenty of snow!
View ahead
Colorful mountains to the east
Still a ways to go!
The final section is steep
On the summit
Looking down at the ridge we ascended
Coming down from the summit. The snow was too steep to descend so
we
scrambled
down instead.
Heading back from the ridge above the basin.
Finding some good scree to descend
View from the top. Mount
Athabasca is on the right.
