Dru Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 quote: Originally posted by iain: Perhaps you folks can identify something for me in the Canadian Rockies. This is looking east from the Adamants across the Columbia. What peak is that in the distance? Probably something really well-known and popular but I have not been in that area. 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 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. [ 09-26-2002, 11:00 AM: Message edited by: Dru ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Right on Dru I did more checking. I think it is Bryce or Columbia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

iain Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 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.

iain Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Comparing a photo from the east of Alberta's summit on bivouac.com and flipping it, I'd say you're right Dru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be the N face of Alberta. 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.
