Fisher Peak Kananaskis Scramble N – NW Access to Col at Mid Ridge July, 2018

Follow left creek bed at Forks and pass a steep creek and then a scar on right bank. Ascend a drainage and follow easily to col. This approach bypasses the terrible rubble on West aspect

Probably best access to the col in middle of the Fisher Peak Ridge. At Forks – follow left creek bed to past a steep creek and then a scar on the right bank and follow an easy drainage up to the col.(see maps in Pics)

More creek bed but lower angle, easier travel up and down, no elevation loss over west ridge highpoint, and avoids the ugly rubble on the West side of ridge.

Collection of google Maps and pics from various trip reports off the internet. Thanks to whoever I got pics from.
