Mount Deltaform

This description involves the rightward option, circumventing the summit block headwall. After the traverse below the headwall, move up and cross the ice choked gully to the right. Climb easy 5th class rock here to just below a short steep section. We built a station with pitons and blades and then proceeded with a short mixed lead up and over the shattered rock on the right side of the gully and onto a short amount of ice above. This pitch took us to the top of another ridge where existing pins existed. This is a very loose and potentially dangerous pitch. Scramble up the ridge, but stop just short of the final technical section. Set up a gear belay here. Traverse the snow out left until you can climb up a decent 5th class chimney to a slung block just above the infamous notch before the summit. Traverse, III, 5.5, Mount Deltaform and Mount Neptuak, Valley of the Ten Peaks, Moraine Lake, Banff National Park, to Marble Canyon, Kootenay National Park, August, 2010
