Good trail all the way but steep. About 1400 m and 8 km RT. \u00a0Followed trail right into talus around one buttress but then back left into sparse trees to go around main headwall with waterfall. Good trail LH side over headwall and past LH side of 2 tarns with lots of campsites and firepits. \u00a0Follow trail through upper valley to scree slope that leads up to col. Some more solid ledges to right of scree but stay left near top to avoid pillars on col ridge. \u00a0Trail from col leads out right onto South face and zig zags up ledges until face narrows to ridge. Follow cairns and yellow\/black markers. \u00a0Some easy scramble over ledges and a couple moderate moves on LH side of ridge just below summit ridge. \u00a0Two bolts for safety if wet. Stanley Cup has been up here twice Scott Niedermayer 2000 Devils + 2007 Ducks.<\/p>\n<p>For some more info on scrambling Fisher read these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ekoutdoorclub.wordpress.com\/information-of-interest\/final-thoughts-on-climbing-mount-fisher\/\">thoughts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One quote &#8221;\u00a0the climb has been unofficially done in one hour and 10 minutes\u00a0by Wycliffe mountain man Chris Lague,\u00a0 a\u00a0friend of local hiking legend Denny Kerr, who\u2019s made it in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">one hour 18<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">minutes<\/span>\u00a0and climbed the lofty spire <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">a grand total of 138 times<\/span> (official).
