Working the loose, exposed east face terrain.The side hill slopes leading up to the NW ridge proper were extremely steep and wet grass didn't help with the feeling that a slip would be unpleasant.Phil follows me up to the false summit.Raf comes up behind me, the peak at center is Jimmy Simpson and is best ascended from Bow Lake rather than Peyto Lake.ore stunning views as we climb the gully.The gully gets steeper the higher you go.Phil at the bottom of the crux - despite appearances to the contrary it is only moderate scrambling. With some exposure.Phil at the bottom of the crux - despite appearances to the contrary it is only moderate scrambling. With some exposure.Phil climbs the crux on good holds and solid(ish) rock.Spectacular views south as Phil crests the crux.Phil takes in the stunning views over Molar Tower as we near the summit. Molar Tower hasn't been climbed often - at a stiff 5.8+ it's not for the faint of heart.Carefully down climbing the crux.The ridge to the summit of Mount Tecumseh is fun.A wee bit of easy scrambling to the false summit.That ain't happening! So we decided to try the steep wall to our left.The terrain mellows out a bit as we start paralleling the creek on its west side before descending back down to our right.Wietse ascends avalanche debris.Exiting the choke.A gorgeous day with views starting to open up behind us towards Charles Stewart.Phil makes his way back along the ledge with our second peak visible at center.
