No difficulties other than deciding whether to return via a boring valley hike or regain a whole ton of elevation. Guess which one we did?
Naming: The ridge takes its name from Odlum Creek that flows to the south of it. Unofficial name. First ascended in 1916 by Interprovincial Boundary Survey. (From peakfinder.com)
On Wednesday, September 27 2017 I was joined by Trevor Boyce for an easy hike and traverse of Odlum Ridge, deep in Kananaskis Country just east of the Continental Divide and south of Highwood Pass. Our plan was to take advantage of the great weather with views of larches and aesthetic mountains in the background. We were not disappointed! Why such a tame objective? First of all, this was our first time out together. Trevor is the person responsible for getting Cornelius Rott into scrambling.
