The Fist, East Ridge
Kananaskis
February 2, 2003

We joined the Hostel Outdoor Group to snowshoe up the east ridge of The Fist. After gaining the ridge a few people were uncomfortable with continuing to a higher point and stayed back while the rest of of us pushed on. We climbed until the grade became too steep to safely continue.


Our route winds through fallen logs.
