Volcano Peak(edit)

Bob Spirko Kananaskis, Alberta April 23, 2004 A roadside view of Volcano Peak suggests a good early or late season climb, and it was. Dinah and I followed the Evan-Thomas trail before leaving for the side trail following McDougall Creek. Just before reaching the edge of the trees, we crossed the creek and bushwhacked until we reached the edge of a talus slope. We continued hiking up until we reached the summit. The endeavour was little more than a steep hike. (I called it "Little McDougall," but a couple years later, Andrew Nugara climbed it and named it "Volcano Peak." (We also climbed Volcano Peak in 2005 when we attempted Mount McDougall in 2005. We took a course that avoided the bushwhacking and talus slope but had routefinding challenges)
