Quick Watch: 1500 Meters UP in 10k - Running Cascade Mountain In Banff!

A round trip trail run on Cacade Mountain in Banff Natinal Park, Alberta, with Eric Lagerstrom and Ryan Weald, the day after Eric's wedding!
"Cascade mountain can be climbed starting from the Norquay Ski Area base. The first portion is a fairly moderate hike, up to the Cascade Amphitheatre. Continuing upwards, the route ascends along the ridge edge until it reaches the crest where it dips before it rises to the false summit. While the false summit can be descended at its end, it is much easier to follow a trail around the western side along the exposed foot. Snow typically blocks this route almost until mid July and attempting it while snowy can entail considerable avalanche risk due to the slabby terrain and exposure. A long window of clear weather - full day - should be anticipated before attempting this climb, as many climbers have gotten into trouble and needed rescue (or died) when a storm suddenly blows in.[1] The ascent normally takes 3 to 6 hours, while the descent along the same path takes 2 to 4 hours." - Wikipedia
