Mt. Alberta

Chris Gibish and I climbed the NE ridge of Alberta last week. Climbing the route and decending took 17 hours from the Mt. Alberta hut and back. The route was fairly icy, since it had snowed 20cm 5 days earlier. An excellent route with a wide variety of climbing. Some people who came by on the way to the Japanese route (which we descended) said that we were the first people to reach the summit this year. Fun!Below is Chris starting up the water ice section.

The Alpine Club of Canada hut.  Very nice!
