Cegnefs and Mount Murray seen from Mount Burstall
Cegnfs When we hiked up French Creek we intended to climb both Cegnfs and Mount Murray. Unfortunately, we had trouble following the instructions in the Scrambles book and we ended up on the wrong ridge. We had to drop down and traverse rubbly slopes to get back on track. By the time we reached the summit of Cegnfs it was too late to attempt Mount Murray. According to comments in the summit register, other groups ended up on the wrong ridge as well. They too cursed the author. There's even a well-worn path leading down from the wrong ridge. We managed to return the correct way and used that route to climb Mount Murray the following year. |

Desending Cegnfs
Taking a break by larches
While hiking back we chanced upon a porcupine. Apparently
it didn't like having his picture
taken: he turned his back to me and thumped
his tail on the ground!
