Troll Falls is an easy hike (3.4 km, +154 m) near the Wilderness Hostel in Kananaskis. It is an excellent objective for the "second day," assuming you hiked hard the previous day. 

Mount Rundle, 2949 m.

Mount Rundle (2949 m) is a prominent mountain above Banff, easily seen from the Banff Hot Springs. It is considered an easy scramble, with 1570 m of altitude gain. In other words it is a "wyrypa" (a grueling experience).

Mist Mountain? No, Mist Ridge!

Our Team Leader, Yanek, set a nice objective for the last weekend - a massive Mist Mountain, 3140 m, achievable from the South through a moderate to difficult scramble. What he couldn't control, however, was the weather. We got close to a foot of fresh snow over Friday night. Realizing we had minimal chances reaching the top in a safe manner (our compatriots, Roman and Gennagij, gave up on the Tower for the same reason), we decided for a lower (2515 m), but longer (23 km) alternative - Mist Ridge (seen in the distance). 

Kanion Johnstona (Banff)

5 Wrzesień 2016

W ostatni dzień wycieczki zwykle jedziemy się trochę zregenerować do Gorących Źródeł Banff. Tym razem jednak Harpagony Klubowe zadecydowały, że taki dzień byłby "niepełny" i że musimy jeszcze gdzieś pójść. Wybór padł na położony w pobliżu Banff Kanion Johnstona.
