Mt. EDITH Scramble (4K) - All 3 Summits - Banff National Park, Alberta

What an amazing scramble in Banff National Park! I have wanted to do this one for a few years but am just getting to it now. This is an EDITH 101 video of all 3 summits (Provided you have the skills), which shows the challenging areas of this climb. This video shows the route we took however other routes and lines up are definitely an option and should be considered. To see the Cory Pass Approach here is the link -    • Cory Pass - Edith Pass Hike, Banff Nationa...   First off, this is NOT a beginner scramble. It has the potential with the exposure in certain areas to be very dangerous and if off route potentially fatal. Also, make sure the weather is favorable as having wet rock will change the dynamics. Now that I have scared you, what this climb does have is F...U...N! I loved it and all the little different scrambling sections up each of the 3 peaks. From what I had read going into this scramble I expected the 2nd summit to be a cakewalk. It however had more scrambling than I thought it would. The 3rd summit being the most difficult as far as rating goes wasn't that bad at all I found. The traverse through the gully between summit 2 and 3 was likely the biggest challenge and could be very dangerous if there were multiple people in it at once. Mt. Edith is a mountain just northwest of Banff on the 1A which starts at the Fireside Picnic area and offers 3 separate summits which are all accessible from a popular hiking trail. You head up Cory Pass to access the first of 3 summits heading north to south. The north and central peaks are moderate scrambles while the south summit is considered a difficult scramble. The north summit is the highest of the three. Disclaimer - Always scramble within your own abilities. Thoroughly assess the situation and research the route. Just because I may have done this route at this time doesn't mean you can or should. GPS and/or a topo map are a valuable tool to help. Leave a route description behind with exact location should you not arrive home at a predetermined time. Have a way to contact rescue as well if you are in an area of no cell service(SPOT, Garmin, etc.). Also, if hiking in winter make sure you have the necessary skill and knowledge regarding unstable conditions and perform a proper risk assessment prior to engaging in this activity.
