Mamma Grizzly bear and cubs.Mamma Grizzly bear and cubs.From the road, there is no approach or bushwhacking - straight up on climber's left of the gully.The gully has some waterfalls blocking the way up it on the lower half - but the ridge is nicer anywayThe kids enjoyed the hike up the ridge.Height is gained very quickly on the easy ridge.This is the terrain you're avoiding in the gully.Interesting burn area - this was a controlled burn by Parks Canada years ago.More interesting hiking.Taking a break.Higher up there was more scree mixed with the grass.Looking back over Mount Minos.At the top of the ridge, looking over Labyrinth and towards Ya Ha Tinda ranch. Wildhorse out of sight to the right.Hann and KC come up to the end of the ridge, bypassing the small bump on its terminus.Niko and Seppi traversing to the col - Wildhorse looming above. We have to get past the gendarmes which will be the crux.Natural sheep shelter as we bypass the gendarmes.ot too difficult but for folks who aren't scramblers, this will be a challenging little section.Others go looking for fun scrambling terrain! :) The slabs in the area are very grippy rock and very sharp edges.
