Almost as awesome as the climb looks. It's obvious you put a lot of time into this.

Re: Awesome page, Dow
Thanks Bob, I love diversity and made a commitment to get off the wall a bit and back into the alpine this summer....I have not been disappointed...cheers
I am glad not to do that descent/walk out which is bad enough just from Fay hut! I can see why the full traverse rarely gets done. We did peak 1-5 from Peyto hut (up Schiesser - down perren)back whenever and quit on 6 because of bad rock/time.
Well done given conditions.

Re: Great adventure but
we just traversed Deltaform and Neptuak Bill. Looking at it now, I can see where it would have been easier to traverse to the Fay Hut on the backside of Tuzo and Allen, but from Jason and I's last rap/vantage point down the east ridge of Delta...we chose what looked to be the lessor of two evils and just dropped into Kaufmann Lake. Our fellow comrades were a bit slow for the full traverse, bagging peaks along the way. Thinking about heading for a Crowsnest scramble fest in the morning if for some reason it were a gas and oil holiday! Cheers.

Nice climbGood stuff Dow. Sounds like a loose climb that would test the nerves a bit.
Cheers
