Robertson and Tallon Peaks (South Approach) We had intended to climb the south end of Livingstone Ridge, but deep snow hampered us so we decided to ascend two small nearby peaks instead. From the ridge leading to Livingstone Ridge, we dropped down 250 m on the east side and climbed up Robertson Peak which was mostly free of snow. From there, we followed a ridge southeast, losing 180 m in the process, to climb the Tallon Peak, shorter than Robertson peak by 90 m. From Tallon Peak we headed south back to the car. The trip was largely an off-trail hike. Despite being minor peaks, they offered great views and interesting landscapes. |
