Approach: 10 minutes
Climb: 2 - 4 hours
Descent: 45 - 60 minutes
Car-to-Car: 3 - 5 hours
 Sun: faces south east

An excellent route with fun rambly pitches topped off with 2-3 long & steep excellent pitches right at the top. If it wasn't for the HUGE avalanche hazard this route suffers from it would be crowded all the time. Check the hazard before heading up! Climbing it at night to lower the objective hazard is not uncommon. Otherwise a very early start or a cloudy day is recommended.

Location Suggest change

The super obvious waterfall your staring straight at when you exit at Banff heading west on the Trans-Canada. Park directly below the falls at the tourist pullout and follow the trail up to the route.

Protection Suggest change

screws, v-threads. Fixed bolted stations abound on both the right and left side of the route.
