Tower of Babel as seen from just off the Consolation Lakes trail.You want to move quickly up this gully! Lots of rock fall potential. Personally I feel this is 'moderate' terrain, not 'easy'.Once up the gully, I headed back north to the main summit area.Gorgeous view over Larch Valley towards Hungabee and Eiffel with Sentinel Pass to the right.Chillin' on the big comfy couch!Another angle on the summit couch with Mount Temple in the bg.I was just up there! Panorama Ridge lies to the east.Moraine Lake and the Valley of Ten Peaks. From R to L, Neptuak, Deltaform, Tuzo, Allen, Perren, Bowlen and Little.Mount Babel looms high over the tower on the right, Bident in the distance.My favorite view from the Tower of Babel looking over Consolation Lakes with Babel, Quadra and Bident on the right and Bell and Panorama Ridge on the left.The obvious route up the avy path on Panorama Ridge.Another view over Moraine Lake which has a Peyto Lake look to it here!Peering straight down at the Moraine Lake Lodge.Telephoto of Eiffel Peak.Deltaform is a big, scary 11,000er.Allen is another large peak in the group of 10 - Perren to its left.Mount Little doesn't look so little from this angle!Mount Bident has always impressed me with it's hanging glacier and distinctive lines.
