Gordon was the last summit we did during a very educational introductory mountaineering course with Yamnuska. Unlike the other logs here, we had pretty clear views around us and it was really amazing. We could see Hector Lake, the Yoho valley, numerous peaks in every direction, and of course the icefield below. However, it wasn't completely clear, so we couldn't see as far as the spires in the Bugaboos which apparantly can be seen on a cloudless day. No complaints whatsoever though! Great climb.

Got to the top and couldn't see a thing. Two guided groups beat us there. Wapta traverse is a wonderful trip.

Amazing views hmmm...I wish! Summited this one in a total whiteout. Got back to the hut thanks to our compass. Still fun though.
