Easy hiking up to The Ramparts beside the rubble field just in treeline.Looking back at Phil and Eohippus Lake as we follow the trail winding up The Ramparts.Crossing Healy Creek on a bridge.Fall is definitely in the air as we continue off-trail towards The Ramparts.Careful descent of the north ridge.Heading back to Simpson Pass - our last great view of The Monarch and the Ramparts.Eohippus Lake.Looking up the north ridge leading to the summit.The gully is fairly steep. With more snow or ice crampons and ax(es) would be needed to ascend it.Approaching the snow in the gully - again, the angle and distance are skewed in this photo.The mighty and impressive Mount Assiniboine.The very impressive Mount Whitetail with the Bugaboos in the far distance.Lovely hiking to Simpson Pass.Tele shot of Temple (L), Pharaoh (C) and Storm (R).Phil comes up to the summit with an amazing panorama opening up behind him.Taking the trail towards Eohippus Lake.A wonderful day to be enjoying this beautiful view as we descend the giant scree bowl towards the lower access gully.Looking along the impressive east face of The Monarch (R) towards Eohippus Lake and the Mount Assiniboine area.A border marker at Simpson Pass.
