Wiwaxy and the col are now clearly visible with and obvious route towards them. Wiwaxy doesn't look too easy from this angle!View from the col, looking down the approach valley with Cathedral at left and the Sherbrooke Lake area in the far distance.The East Peak of Wiwaxy doesn't look easy from the col!A view back along my approach from Lake Oesa includes Glacier, Ringrose, Hungabee, Yukness and Biddle (L to R).Looking down the north side of the col over the approach valley for the Lake O'Hara region with Cathedral rising on the left.It's hard to believe but there's a scramble route through the Huber Ledges on the right, leading to the Huber GlacierI start up loose terrain under the east tower.Looking back at the Huber Ledges with Mount Huber looming impressively above.Incredible views back over Lake Oesa and towards Yukness Mountain as I gain height.Looking up loose terrain that must be ascended to the west of the east summit.Looking back over the west peak of Wiwaxy with Stephen in the bg.Traversing to the main east summit - views are stunning.Looking over the 3rd tower on my way to the highest (4th) one, Mount Biddle across the Opabin Valley, Mount Park just right of center.Vern on the summit of Wiwaxy Peaks.A panorama near the east summit (on far right) showing the entire Huber Ledge traverse with Victoria - North Summit and Huber looming above.Huber, Lefroy, Glacier, Ringrose, Hungabee, Yukness, Biddle, Park, Schaffer, Owen, Little Odaray, Odaray, West Wiwaxy and Mount StephenOesa, Lefroy and Yukness all dumping into O'Hara at lower right with Yukness dwarfed by Ringrose, Hungabee and BiddleCathedral Mountain is still one of my favorite trips of all time - the views and the climb are great.Mount Niles in the foreground with the mighty Mount Balfour directly behind and Gordon to the left.Niles Meadows approach (winter) to the Wapta Icefields with Niles at left and Daly at right.
