Views from just up the south ridge back over the TCH and my truck with the old bridge and the outline of Narao in the distance.The bushwhack wasn't the worst I've done, but then again I've done some pretty heinous 'whacking over my career.Despite being warned and trying to avoid them, I still ended up on some moderate slabs on the south ridge.An unexpected larch forest on an unexpected flat(ish) shoulder just before a more ridge.On more open slopes and nearing tree line. The summit not visible yet.Pretty sublime views back over Wapta Lake towards Divide, Niblock, Narao, North Victoria, Huber and Hungabee.On more open slopes and nearing tree line. The summit not visible yet.Narao, North Victoria, Cathedral, Steven and Mount Field visible (L to R). Kane's access route comes from lower left near the light colored shoulder left of center.Looking forward to a fun ridge scramble!The north end of Sherbrooke Lake visible at lower right in this lovely view up to the Niles Meadows and Mount Niles (L) and Daly (C-L).This would make for an interesting access (or egress)!Mount Bosworth lies to the east.There are some minor undulations on the ridge as you approach the scree traverse to the north end of the summit block.Looking along the easy west aspect scree traverse.The infamous crux ledge along the north end of Ogden's summit block.Looking back along the crux from near the awkward step.(L to R), Narao, North Victoria, Huber, Hungabee, Cathedral Mountain and Crags, Mount Steven, Dennis, Field, Wapta and Carnarvon at far distant right.Mount Daly is an impressive hulk of a mountain.Carnarvon, the Presidents, McArthur, Isolated, Whaleback, Des Poilus, Collie, Balfour, Niles, Daly (L to R).
