Mount Cory is classed in Alan Kane’s book as an easy/moderate scramble via south ridge. We will scramble up the S ridge to the S summit, continue on to the N summit, and then return the same way. If we can, we will stop for a peak in the "Hole in the Wall" on the way up. Please be realistic about your abilities and gauge them appropriately, as you will need basic scrambling skills. Also, please note the list of required equipment. In particular, everyone must bring a climbing helmet and proper hiking boots.

Please do not be in a rush to get back to town as we may stop in Canmore for a bite/drink.

Required Items to Bring:
- climbing helmet (mandatory)
- sturdy hiking boots (mandatory)
- clothing for variable weather conditions (no cotton)
- plenty of water and food
- plastic bag for muddy boots
- $ or Park Pass

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Take the Trans-Canada highway #1 West. After bypassing the Banff town exits, take the Bow Valley Parkway exit (Highway 1A). Follow the parkway road for 1.9 km. Pull off to the right on a small paved shoulder good for two to three vehicles (GPS location 51.169059 / -115.682066). This pull-off will have a small footpath leading into the trees.

Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):

300Km

Carpool Directions:

Carpool Cost:

Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $90.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Thursday, April 18, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle.
