 Heart Mountain - 2178m/7146'

Scrambling with Ian Cameron

Height gain: 875m/2871'
Ascent date: Aug 13, 2004
Ascent time: 2:30hrs One way
Comment: Moderate scramble
(1) From the Heart Creek parking lot south of Lac Des Arcs, follow the Heart Creek trail to a signed fork.

Simply follow the west ridge all the way to the top of the first summit. I attempted this climb by accident. A couple of my friends and I planned to climb up Pilot Mtn. but lost track of them on my way to Banff.
(1) I had no map or knowledge about this mountain so I just kept venturing onto false summits until the rain forced me to stop.

(2) The week after, I came back with Ian to finally reach the true summit and finish-up the route...but wait there's more. Ian and I both agreed to venture beyond the Heart Mountain and climb the Twin Towers.
