20 Nov 04 - This is Trick or Treat, accessed by a 3.5 hour hike up a creek to reach the upper slopes of Mt. Lougheed.
From the road, and even from here, the climb looked fine, but as we got closer, the climb was chandeliered to the
point that neither of us could lead it, so we packed up and went back to Canmore.

20 Nov 04 - This is Ariadne's Thread, which is actually the climb we were after for the day. Unfortunately, you
can't see it until you're about 3 hours into the approach. As you can tell, it wasn't in yet. But for a 200m WI-3,
this is what we were looking for to kick start the season.

20 Nov 04 - The day was not all lost. We did get some exercise, and we had some nice views. Here we see
Mt. Nestor in the background.
