| Good long outing on the west ridge. Backed off at the right time as thunderstorms hit camp 30 min after we got back. Bit more than a scramble on the upper sections. But a great day outside. That bushwhack to and from the glacier wont live long in the memory. Donated blood to the many horse flies in the area. | |

| Got to within 1000 feet of the summit but I was taking too long. Wonderful area and mountain to be on. Good 2-day outing. | |

| Dow Williams | Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: July, 2004 | |
| Solo Ascent. On July 14th I got a last minute wild hair to climb Sir Douglas. I knew this mountain had a reputation for staying out of condition most of the year. However, Joffre was still freezing 4 days earlier so I gave it a go. This mountain is 2nd only to Assiniboine in terms of being able to quickly identify it when peak bagging in the Kananaskis region of the Canadian Rockies. THIS IS NOT A SCRAMBLE! You have some serious ice fall on this west ridge route as you ascend and descend a glacier to the ridge. I do find this a good solo however, because of minimal crevasse danger, but it is still a gamble as it always is. I posted a trip report on this page for more detailed information. I was the first to sign the register in 2004 and that comes as no surprise. Sir Douglas' reputation for bad rock is well earned. At 9:AM, this was one of the quietest and scenic summits I have ever achieved. | |
