Welcome to SummitPost, Peter; good photos--excellent first page!
A couple things:
1) What do you mean when you say the first ascent was an "ACC" climb? I'm guessing it's something along the lines of "Alpine Canadian Club," but don't know for sure what the acronym stands for.
2) The 1972 first ascent date for Gusty Pk would seem to be quite recent for a climb of this type, in this area. Do you have any ideas why the late date?
3) The Chester Meadows picture is very striking! What are the mountains in the image?
I replaced the ACC acronym with Alpine Club of Canada, thanks for pointing it out. The guidebook of the area indicates the first ascent as being in 1972, and I wouldn't be surprised since this summit is still not on the official maps, and there are bigger and more appealing mountains right next to it. I believe the Spray Lakes road was built fairly late as well... I replied to your picture question separately. Thanks for your vote!

Untitled CommentThanks for the vote! You mention you're going to South America in your profile, what month do you plan that? I might end up that way too...
