Itinerary:
We will leave Calgary about 8:30am on Friday and drive into the Ghost (cramming into my truck if necessary), parking when we are advised to stop. That means we will likely be hiking about 10 km before turning S and ascending into a wide valley between Costigan and Pakakos (modest bushwhacking). We'll camp in an wide meadow and then on Saturday saunter up the peak, pack up and return to Calgary (unless there's a lot of interest in sticking around for a third day to explore unnamed summits nearby).
Required Items to Bring:
Warm clothes, overnight gear, food: no technical gear or climbing equipment needed

A sense of humour
