Barrier Summit

Location: Barrier Mountain, Kananaskis, Alberta Route: West face to S.W. ridge Photographer: Kevin Watson Description: Another one of our many New Years Day Climbs. We always thought it was a great way to start out each year with an accent on the first day. ________________________ Hugh MacPherson on the summit of Barrier. This photo was taken looking to the N.W., that's Barrier Lake frozen in the background. We scrambled through the trees from the Kananaskis highway, then climbed small ice gully to gain the ridge. From there we just walked up the ridge to the summit where we stood on New Years Day.
