Edith is located in the Bow River Valley just northwest of the town of Banff. It was first ascended in 1900 by Collie and Stephens. Mount Edith is an uplift of the Devonian age Palliser limestone, a 500 meter thick formation of solid rock. There are four alpine rock routes on Edith and one scramble that can be varied from one peak to a traverse of all three of it's summits, the highest being the northernmost. It is a dogtooth mountain similar to Mount Louis to the north (my favorite rock alpine climb in Banff NP). Getting There- The Trans-Canada Highway dissects Banff National Park east to west as you come in from Calgary. Bypass the Banff town exits and take the Bow Valley Parkway exit. Follow the parkway for .3 km west to a road on your right, turn right and proceed to the Fireside Picnic area at the end of the road. Red Tape- You will be required to purchase a national park pass as you enter the park. This pass is good for all four national parks. If you plan many visits to Canadian National Parks within one year, you should purchase an annual pass. There are no permit requirements to climb in Banff National Park, but all camping is regulated. There is also a backcountry permit required if you plan on spending a night in the backcountry versus the town campsites. This can be obtained via the parks website which is included in the camping section below. Park headquarters are located in Banff and you will drive through the manned kiosks as you enter the park.This is active grizzly country, therefore, you should always have bear spray on your person. We have had an increase in activity so far in 2005.When To Climb- It is best to climb Mount Edith from June through September. There are no published or obvious backcountry ski routes on the mountain. There are small ice routes located between Mount Cory and Edith. Camping- You can go on line at Banff National Park to pick your camp site and obtain your camping permit. The closest camping is back in the town site of Banff, or if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle, you can camp further down the Bow Valley Parkway at , Johnston Canyon Resort and Campground .Mountain Conditions- Banff National Park’s website has weather, wildlife reports, trail closures, etc. Outside of the parks web site, Canadian Avalanche Association is also useful, particularly for winter travel.ROUTESScramble- North Peak OnlyScramble- Traverse of all Three Peaks South Ridge of the South Peak II 5.4- One of the more frequently climbed alpine rock routes in Banff. East Face of the Central Peak III 5.10b- This route takes the largest and steepest face on the central peak of Edith via a very prominent water-worn groove that runs right down the middle of the face. It is more of a big crag climb than an alpine style rock climb. North Face of the North Peak, Greenwood/Boles III 5.8- Soloed in 1984. The Kafir Strikes Back III 5.10c- Takes the prominent corner line all the way up the centre of the face. This route is a sustained outing. | | |
