A scramble up Mount Arethusa in Kananaskis country. For more information see http://www.fresh-oxygen.com/vern/scrambles/arethusa/arethusa.html

Kev B trudges past the lower scree slopes of Arethusa on our way to the ascent slope.

Looking back at the Arethusa meadow as we start the scree grind.

Did I mention scree grind?! :)

Wietse is far below as I work my way higher in growing evening shadows.

This rock rib is a life saver - a great break from the scree.

Kev on the rib.

Transitioning off the rib onto the upper ridge.

Looking back as Kev starts the down climb of the crux.

A slightly wider view of Kev on the crux down climb with Wietse above him on the ridge - definitely not easy terrain!

Zoomed in shot of Kev and Wietse on the crux.

Another shot looking back from the ridge to the summit - still difficult scrambling terrain with very little room for error.

The ridge is very narrow and exposed, we contoured left here to avoid some of that terrain.

Looking across at Mount Rae from the summit of Arethusa.

Looking east to the front ranges - this is probably Mount Burns.

Looking west across hwy 40 towards Joffre.

Another, wider shot, of Mount Rae just to the north of Arethusa.

A great shot looking down our ascent valley and over hwy 40 along Highwood Ridge.
