We are experiencing one of the nicest falls I can remember. This is taken at the top of the first hill from the parking lot, looking back at Mount Indefatigable.Lots of damage along Fox Creek from the 2013 floods, but it's being worked on and fixed.The Turret is just barely visible in the far distance from the start of the side ski track after it leaves the Fox Creek trail.The Turret shows up as I continue along the ski track to the start of the bushwhack.A pretty tame bushwhack.The summit is above me here, but I have to work my way above the krommholtz and then over to climber's leftNow I'm traversing south on the goat path, above the krommholtz and towards Mount Fox.Now I'm traversing south on the goat path, above the krommholtz and towards Mount Fox.The clouds were pouring over Elk Pass and then drying out when they hit the dry Alberta air.Mount Fox and the cliffs you have to get around.On hind sight you can go straight up from here. I traversed more to the left before going up on slightly easier slopes.Looking back as I ascend to the ridge, Mount Fox across the alpine meadow.Amazing views from the ridge over Rawson Lake Ridge to Mounts Foch and Sarrail and the Kananaskis Lakes.
