Note for 20 Nov 04: I went with Blair Piggot. After several weeks of very warm weather, we were looking for something high and in the shade. We hiked all the way up to Trick or Treat, but decided it was too chandeliered for our liking.


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.



20 Nov 04 - This is looking north up the Spray Lakes Rd. That's Big Sister to the right of the lake.



20 Nov 04 - One last look at Trick or Treat.
