Staring up at the east face of Citadel. We ended up traversing left to an obvious break in the cliffs.Looking over Citadel Pass.Hiking up the east face.Great views towards Golden Mountain which would become the third peak of the day for us, many hours later.Phil ascends steep grassy slopes with the summit of Fatigue Mountain still in the clouds behind him.More great views from the ascent showing Fatigue at left and Golden Mountain at center distance with Fatigue Pass in between.Our ascent line is obvious above.Looking back towards Fatigue Mountain.Looking past the eastern cliffs of Citadel towards Golden Mountain (L) and an outlier of Nub Peak at distant right.Telephoto of the outlier of Nub Peak with the core Assiniboine area covered in clouds and rain.The slope gets quite steep - hikers probably won't appreciate it.Looking back at Fatigue and Golden (R).Phil breaks through the easy cliffs - note that if you aren't on the easiest line, there are difficult options through here.Very steep vegetated slopes to the summit above the cliff band.Gorgeous views over the Simpson River Valley towards Simpson Ridge (C). Golden Mountain at far left and Nestor Peak left of Simpson Ridge.Simpson Ridge is very difficult to access - especially after the Verdant Creek wildfires of 2017 which are pretty obvious here.Looking across the recent burn area towards The Monarch which is buried in clouds.Looking north over Quartz Hill towards the Egypt Lakes with Pharaoh Peak visible and Mount Ball in clouds beyond.Summit views towards Pharaoh Peaks.Summit views.
