Mount Lyautey in the distance.I did The Turret in the late fall of 2014 and enjoyed stunning views from it as well.Mount Indefatigable was among my first scrambles - a fond memory.Mount Sarrail rises impressively at the far end. Rawson Ridge is out of sight to the right, South Rawson Ridge is on the left.Mount Rae rises over Pocaterra Ridge to the east.In the trees, the track was easily visible and made a huge difference, giving me a semi-solid base to walk on.Views north and east off the ridge from near tree line.Wintour, Tombstone, Gap and Elpoca.Upper Kananaskis Lake is directly below with Lower in the distance. Mount Indefatigable directly across the Upper Lake.The impressive walls of Mount Sarrail.Kananaskis Lakes from the ridge.The summer route comes up from the lower left, Sarrail's east and northeast faces rise steeply above.Looking over Upper Kananaskis Lake towards Warspite, Nomad, Invincible and Indefatigable.Looking over Lower Kananaskis Lake towards the Opal Range including Packenham, Hood, Brock, Blane and others.I would avoid the temptation to either ascend or descend this obvious hazard unless you're very confident in conditions and your abilities to judge them properly.An outlier of Mount Lyautey rises steeply above Hidden Lake - the access to the Aster Lake region goes past this lake.It was bloody cold down at the lake shore. Rawson Lake Ridge is straight ahead, up the treed ridge in front of Mount Sarrail.The views are no worse as I start my descent down the ridge.The NE face of Sarrail.
