Story: After Robson, Will Gadd knocked off another Rockies Classic - the Japanese Route on Mount Alberta. Will reports, "Conditions good enough, we climbed the left wall of the gully to avoid rockfall and ice, which works OK. Even the North Face looked to be in good shape. 13 and a half hours hut to hut....No real summit register, just film cans that were wet inside but made for good reading...."
Access: Mount Alberta is north of the Columbia Icefields. Park at the pullout 12.3 km north of the Icefield Centre, ford the Sunwapta River, go up the Wooley Creek drainage and the Wooley Shoulder, and then descend to the Mount Alberta Hut.
