Ascent of Storm Mountain on 1998-09-27| Others in Party: | Chris Harfman | | Date: | Sunday, September 27, 1998 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | | Peak: | Storm Mountain | | Location: | Canada-Alberta/British Columbia | | Elevation: | 3158 m / 10361 ft |
Ascent Trip ReportA season end scramble up another big, but relatively easy, peak along the continental divide. Storm Mtn. involves a bushwhack and some trudging up scree slopes, before a short but interestingly steep section, and then you top out on a broad summit. NW slopes are the scrambling route; don't verge too closely to the N face cliffs, it's easy to slip over those ledges..
Physically a demanding day but somewhat of a denouement after the exciting climbs up Mt. Chephren and Mt. Niblock earlier in the year. Nice views and some good fall colors in the Bow valley.
