Nosecone Peak reminded us of similar shaped mountains including Ramp and Quartzite Peak. With an unbroken, 900 meter ski descent right off the summit, this relatively easy ski objective should be on every Alberta ski mountaineers list of spring objectives. I’m sure I’d be back sooner than later if it didn’t mean a wake-up time of 03:00 to do it safely!
Scott Berry and I completed a east-west traverse of Mount Edith Cavell on a glorious summer day on August 02 2013. Edith Cavell has been tempting me for years already, ever since I started seeing trip reports from friends who swore up and down that the east ridge has some of the best hands-on scrambling / low 5th class climbing to be found in the ‘chossy’ Rockies. They weren’t kidding!
