Black Feather Canyon, 5.9-5.12c [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Black Feather Canyon, 5.9-5.12c
Park at the Lake Minnewanka parking area and hike north along the lake crossing the inlet canal (old Cascade River) over a foot bridge. Take the first marked trail (Stewart Canyon Trail) on the left and follow it up and down for about 20 minutes (along the canal) until you reach the mouth of a canyon. Before you enter the drainage itself, there is a narrow (not maintained-2008) trail on the right that heads east. Either take the narrow trail or just ascend the drainage up canyon. There will be some bushwhacking either way. Eventually you enter the narrow canyon outlet with a few bolted routes on your left. I advise skipping these first walls and continuing up canyon for the much nicer and less polished routes at the head of the canyon.

""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
