Another mountain on another sunny day, but this time not without suffering. My burned lips keep the memories from last Saturday still fresh and so the pictures do. 2 of us started pretty late (9am) fairly low (+-700m) due to snow on the Brandywine fsr. The sun roasted our faces all around during 10 hours the trip took us. Sunscreen for sure helps, I just don't like when it enters my eyes while sweating. And I was sweating a lot :) I will skip all the up and down on the ridge/ glacier and as well the snowmobile thing... (we met around 20 of them and they were not bothering us) I was surprised how high we were able to skin up on the SE face of Cayley. But the tricky section was just behind the small saddle. Little exposed traverse (or a lot but not to steep:) then over small rock/snow step and we were again on top of (our) the world. I know, there are 2 small pinacles on each side, but I am not interested :)
Altogether 25km, 10h, 2450m elev.
And my lips...
Enjoy pictures

That's a long slog. It can also be reached from the X-C trail to Conflict Lake. It might be a bit shorter and not so much up and down.
Nice trip. |

Good Job! And nice shot of Mt. Fee. It looks like a tough one. Almost nasty. |
