URD PEAK 2680m
The peak is 3.2kms NW of Evans Lake. Considering only its name, Urd Peak belongs in the Norns. FA unknown.
It is a simple walk up on grassy slopes from the east and west.
Urd is traversed on the normal south-to-north traverse of the Valhallas (that is about the only way it gets climbed). Descend to Demers Lakes via its east ridge (may be steep snow or ice).
Demers Peak, Urd Peak and Mount Dorval are summits that can be hiked, and which can be approached from the Demers Lakes or Hird Lakes areas (northwest of Evans Lake). Practically these mountains would normally be climbed only during a traverse of the Valhallas. An approach from Beatrice Lake simply to climb them would be masochistic – this is one of the worst bushwhacks on the planet – the shore of Beatrice Lake is the worst part.
