Awesome. That's exactly what I plan to do. How was that climb to the ridgeline? Was it all class 3? You don't happen to have the route you took on GPS by chance do you? Thanks
It was all class 3 or less, I don't remember anything more difficult than that. None of us happened to track it on GPS, unfortunately. I don't recall the route finding to be that difficult
We came in through Waterton / Goat Haunt (by boat) and crossed back into the US. Hiked in and camped in the upper west bowl of Mt Cleveland (need a park permit). Started climbing at about 6am the next morning, summitted, and got back to Goat Haunt to catch the late boat back to Waterton.
Steven Thaw i just have to say, cairns normally are meant to show dangers, directions, and points of interest on off trail routes. A summit cairn should not be knocked over because it is a point of interest. However, go crazy on those cairns you find on trails, good riddance to those.
So beautiful. Such a special area...
Good stuff.
Down is always more difficult than up. Change my mind.
What year it was ?
is this the west route that you took? And camped up in the Basin?

Kick over the offensive cairn! Show respect to the mountain! Thanks!
