A gorgeous scramble in Lake Louise, Banff National Park. For more information see http://www.fresh-oxygen.com/vern/scrambles/panorama/panorama.html and http://www.fresh-oxygen.com/vern/scrambles/babel/babel.html.

Frank tries to dance across the outlet of Consolation Lakes. It didn't work.

The Consolation Lakes are spectacular. Bell, Bident and Quadra rise above from L to R.

Starting up the rubble slope with Tower of Babel at left and Temple in the distance.

Views over the lakes towards Bident, Quadra and Fay are already good from the lower ascent slopes.

The real grunt begins, thankfully the views are good! We're already higher than the Tower of Babel just left of center.

Mount Fay rises dramatically over Consolation Lakes.

Looking over our approach valley and Tower of Babel towards Eiffel Peak.

JW pushes up the scree slope with Fay in the background.

Nearing the ridge proper now, looking towards Consolation Pass.

On the ridge looking at JW approaching the summit above.

Incredible views of Bident (L) and Quadra (R).
