SUNRISE MOUNTAIN

SUNRISE MOUNTAIN 2670m 8760′
Located one kilometre east of Mount McQuarrie. Sunrise Mountain has a southeast couloir which is to the right of an impressive prow (Sunrise Prow). A bowl left of the prow holds snow.

1. West to East Approach the same way as for Mount McQuarrie. Traverse both summits of Sunrise Mountain from the Sunrise-McQuarrie col. Ascend scree slopes above the cabin to the ridge, and then traverse east along the ridge. Avoid a steep drop-off by going down under it on the south face. It is a pleasant but short scramble.
One can descend by glissading to the approach. (I,3,s).

2. Southeast Ridge (Serpent’s Path). Climb a wall left of Sunrise Prow, from the bowl, for two pitches, and follow a blocky spine up to the right. The route snakes around (route finding) and passes to the right of the top. There is an exposed catwalk which leads to the final headwall. (II,5.6,s).
FA Shaun King, David Lavallee, 07/2010. The rating is a guess.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
