Mountains had lots of new wet snow from recent rain system so Kevin, Dave and I \u00a0decided on plan C and went for a sure peak that Kevin had not done.\u00a0 Drove the jeep into the Ghost area – TransAlta road all potholed from Bar Cee – could use a grader-\u00a0 Big hill was fine and easily went across gravel flats to old road. Turned at marker 37 and parked at edge of trees.\u00a0 Went up drainage past camp areas and then cut back left to old trail- note start of trail is covered in lots of blowdown.\u00a0 Some snow\u00a0on trail\u00a0but easy until above treeline. Had to kick steps up notch\/drainage up to plateau and on final slopes to summit but not very deep. Up in 2.5 hrs including snack break.\u00a0\u00a0Good workout and another Summit for Seniors.\u00a0 Probably 7th time for me and 3rd for Dave.<\/p>\n

A nice couple (Shirley, Paddy\u00a0and their dog Chloe) joined us at top and helped with the pictures. RT of 5 hours so down in a little over 1.0 hrs.<\/p>\n
