Rimwall Summit
On 25 June 2004, I headed out to Kananaskis Country after work to bag Rimwall Summit.  I started up the trail to West Wind Pass at 6:12 PM, but it wasn't long before I left the trail and began climbing up the rocky slope leading to Rimwall's ridge crest.  Generally, I had no difficulties until I reached the final cliff band before the top.  There is an easy route through this cliff band further down the slope (I took it on the descent), but being lazy, I stuck to the ridge crest and had to scramble up a difficult step about 3 or 4 metres high.  I tagged the summit at 8:22 PM.  After snapping some photographs and signing the register, I began descending at 8:46 PM.  Halfway down the mountain, I slipped on some ball-bearing scree and gashed my left thumb and palm.  Lately, it seems as if a scramble isn't complete without me leaving some flesh or blood behind.  After paying my blood sacrifice, I was back at my car by 9:59 PM.

Don't look down! Part of Rimwall's east face can be seen here.  At left is West Wind Pass.
Exactly 2 hours 10 minutes to reach the top! Sonny holds up the register canister while sitting on the 2680-metre summit.
Doesn't look like a scramble...thank goodness! This is a southwestern outlier as seen from Rimwall Summit.

Hope that rock doesn't break... Sonny inches forward to peer over the edge.  Windtower is visible in the distance.
