Category : General
Event Description :
September 2 – Mount Haig (East Ridge) 2618 m Leader – Kevin Kelly (403) 627-5128 Straddling the BC/AB border this summit will quite literally take your breath away. The route we will take, which will avoid any elevation losses, follows the cat ski area ski-out road until it terminates just below a tarn (not Haig Lake). From here we still have 800 metres of elevation to gain up the east ridge on scree slopes and rock ledges. There is an option to traverse left on the east ridge and avoid all scrambling. Elevation gain: 1200+ m Time: 8 hours Rating: strenuous/scramble
