mt sir douglas, east ridge


climbing mt sir douglas' east ridge

mt sir douglas in kananaskis was the most enjoyable adventure yet, even though the rock was horribly rotten and unprotectable for the entire lower part of the route. in that case, the solidity and elegance of mt edith cavell probably sets her above general douglas' peak; for a knighted fellow you'd think he'd be more congenial. i was very thankful for all but the sketchiest of twenty or so rappels to return us onto the glacier, followed by a nine kilometre run back to the car after sixteen and one half hours of climbing.
