Aaron, that is the Gmoser Route you are looking at, my favorite pure Alpine Rock Route in the parks. The neatest aspect though is the summit log, like a whos who of Canadian Mountaineering...most old logs are taken down and handed over to my friends at the Banff Museum. But everybody has left this old log alone and it is kept well protected. It alone is worth the effort. Finally some sun! Out to the rocks, cheers.

Thanks Ray. Mt. Louis is Banff's best pure rock peak. I have been up four different routes to its summit. Homage to the Spider is by far the best and most adventurous line. Cheers.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
