Rod descends back to hwy #93 with impressive scenery all around him.I continue on towards Wilcox solo.The creek water tasted so good after a full day of scrambling in the sun!The mighty Mount Bryce looms over the Athabasca Glacier headwall in the foreground.North Twin and Twin's Tower are among the highest peaks in Alberta and the Canadian Rockies at just over 12,000 feet and just under respectively.More scenery around Wilcox Meadow.Back down near the Wilcox Meadows trail, Wilcox rising at far right.Tangle Ridge (L) and Sunwapta (R) from the summit of Wilcox Peak.Rod takes in the views.Vern on the summit of Mount Wilcox.Looking at a moderate scrambling section of the upper ridge on Wilcox as I descend.Who cares how popular it is, when you have views like this!! Nigel on the left.Incredible exposure and views off the SE shoulder looking down at the Athabasca Glacier and Mount Andromeda (L) and Bryce (R).Mount Kitchener (C) and Snow Dome (L).Last views of Athabasca as we drop down the meadow with the shadows growing long but the sun still very warm and pleasant.Mount Andromeda also has many routes including some brutally tough ones like "Andromeda Stain" up a visible coulior of snow, ice and rotten rock to the left of the summit.Summit views of Nigel Peak - we were just up there a few hours ago.Sunwapta is just under 11,000 feet.A veritable highway to the summit on this popular peak.There are many viable paths up the lower part of the SE ridge on Wilcox. Sunwapta just peeking out on the far right.
