Mount Yamnuska is the last mountain on the north side of the Bow River valley (Bow Valley) as it exits the mountains for the foothills and prairie of Alberta. Located close to Calgary, it is a popular "great scramble". It is also a popular rock climbing destination, with over 150 routes of all difficulty levels spread out across its face.
The trail works its way up through an aspen and spruce forest towards the bottom of the east side of the cliff face. From here you will see a large cut in the rock with a boulder blocking the middle section. Work your way up around around the right side of the boulder then through the cut. Keep following a well worn scree trail up the slope then pass between a spine like buttress. Keep on the trail as it gains elevation until you come to a cliff with a bolted chain on your left. This narrow ledge is approximately 35ms long with a bolted chain that one can hang onto while traversing the ledge. The ledge disappears in spots and requires a side step to the next foot hold. Once you traverse the chain ledge locate the trail again and work your way across and up to the summit.
