Mountain Climbing

By František Wichterlová on Sep-03-2011

The highlight of our last trip to Canada was a climb up Sulpher Mountain just outside of Banff. I'd like to say that it was so difficult that we required crampons, pitons, and screamers … but that would be stretching the truth for sure.

The ascent up Sulpher Mountain in fact can be made via a gondola. We decided to walk instead, which took us just about 90 minutes, if I remember correctly. There were lots of other people making the same ascent. Most of the climb is a series of eventually tedious switchbacks. Yet the view eventually becomes quite stunning, allowing one to view up and down the Bow River valley.
