From the Adamants you are much too far north for Assiniboine. I would guess probably Mt Bryce or Columbia itself. Im leaning towards Bryce cause it has a steep N face like that baby apparently does.

 

You could use www.bivouac.com and check the 100 km Javamap from Sir Sandford to see where Bryce is in relation to it...

[Dru]

Here is a map link for you. Bryce would be visible NE of Sir Sandford or it could be something smaller and closer to the trench.

 

If you are not registered to bivy.com I dont think the link will work for you.

assiniboine is due west of selkirk

That map is pretty cool, thanks. Probably Bryce I guess. That picture is looking through the Houdini needles (steep skiing ) area which would put you in line with Bryce I think. Columbia seems too far north and would be close to Tsar from that angle, which would be noticeable. Thanks for the help.

[Dru]

Selkirk is not in the Selkirk mountains! Funny that. Sort of like Lillooet town being nowhere near Lillooet River or Meslilloet ("with only one o" )Mountain.

[Cpt.Caveman]

Right on Dru I did more checking. I think it is Bryce or Columbia.

[iain]

Looks like we be having some bulletin board probs...

 

Selkirk is not in the selkirks. I didn't realize how far south Assiniboine is though. I need to get up there and head up a few of those rockies peaks.

[iain]

Whoop, dru made me look like mr. redundant. There's also the selkirks of northern idaho.

Took some Canadian Rockies action to get you out of lurking, eh? Thanks for the input. The summit is actually shaded somewhat in this photo so it looks like rock. It was ice over, but definitely looked steep from this spot. This was taken this April. I'll see if I have a few shots from up on the Gothics that might help. Welcome to thunderdome.

Here's another photo from the same general area, to the left of the other photo. That first mountain would be to the right (south)

 

 

I think that big'n is Columbia on the right. Dunno about the left rock face.

WHo knows you took the photos

[Dru]

Alberta-left and Columbia-right in that one, I think.

Technically my friend on the trip did, but I have no excuse as I was there too. It's a f'ing disgrace I know.

[iain]

Comparing a photo from the east of Alberta's summit on bivouac.com and flipping it, I'd say you're right Dru.

Have you seen my red stapler?

I put it in the basement where your cubical is now supposed to be. If you could have it there by noon that'd be great.

flaring OW

[Dr_Flash_Amazing]

Ric Flair?

 

You asked for it!

 

[Dru]

[Dr_Flash_Amazing]

What the hell is that pile of schist?

 

Wait, that wasn't a very gneiss thing to say.

 

Ahhh, hilarious.

 

Say, is it time go home yet?

 

[Cpt.Caveman]

Rock is pretty solid there actually. Easy slab. Better than Smitty rocks

[Dru]

Lotsa funky knobs but they don't pop off like Smith.

The north face of Bryce is snow/ice right to the summit whereas this picture shows alot of rock, and looking at the N face of Columbia the left skyline (E ridge) is much more mellow than the one in the picture.
