Course Content: Cascade Mountain is the spectacular peak that towers over Banff. The scrambling route ascends the west side of the mountain, hidden from view. It is a long day but not technical - the main difficulty is route finding and energy conservation. The summit views and feelings of accomplishment climbing a big mountain close to home are well worth the effort!
Prerequisite:
No previous experience is necessary but reasonable fitness is required. An "Introduction to Scrambling course is being held on August 1.
