Yamnuska

Yamnuska is a rock face on the way from Calgary to Banff, it is one of the more striking peaks seen along the road. Finally climbed this thing for the first time this past summer.

The view from the road. The shear face is for rock climbers, scramblers go around the right side up the back and back down in front of the face.

There is one relatively technical part with a metal cable to help out.
