SNOW PEAK hike, Burstall Pass, Kananaskis, Ab

Well this was my 3rd time to the pass and 1st time summiting this mountain.
Had issues the 2 previous times so this was a nice change. Lots of bear scat on the trail but made lots of noise and no issues. This is one of my favorite areas of Kananaskis for sure. Unsurpassed beauty here. For a holiday Monday there was only one other couple to summit. around 19-20kms total and 900m of elevation gain.
Here is the video link for Burstall Pass if you want to see how I got there.

We were up on the Fortress Yesterday. Such a clear and beautiful day! I think I'll have to get out on Snow Peak sometime. This video makes it look great.

Sick views Harlan! I was up there in early July (from Seattle) did Rundle and have a rain check for the Kananaskis golf course I need to use. Planning on driving up in the next few weeks to see the larches would you be interested in climbing something? I have Temple and Niblock on my radar but know you've already done those so if you have something else in mind that's cool I'd be open to any ideas. Cheers!

I actually just got home today from camping in Kananaskis. Not sure I'll get much more in soon but always a possibility. Let me know your plans as you get them. If I can make it work I will. I live about 2.5 hours from Kananaskis.

Solid video, Harlan! Looks like a great day... and no crowds. Rare in that area for sure. Took me two tries to get the Snow Peak summit, too. When I finally did, the smoke was so thick that I couldn't see any of the big mountains to the west. So, your views are my first views from up there.

[@HarlanFox--Scrambles]

... Thanks. It was a great day and yes I was quite surprised to see hardly a soul up there. Couldn't have had better weather.
