Here is my VLOG of The Fortress scramble down the Spray Lakes road south of Canmore. 20kms round trip. 1100 meters elevation gain. 7 hours including breaks. We headed up the #Chesterlake way from the Chester Lake parking lot and came down the Headwall lakes valley way. #thenorthface @thenorthface #keencanada #keen #keenfootwear

Great video! I was inspired by this video to take on the fortress with a buddy on our trip through Alberta, and I'm very glad I did! Beautiful hike for sure (that col was certainly a challenge). I love your channel, keep up the good work! I need to find another good peak to bag next time I'm up in your neck of the woods! Cheers!

Fantastic video!! There are so many gorgeous hikes to do around Canmore! I have done Ha Ling so far this year and I am planning to do Three Sisters and Mount Yamnuska soon!

Thanks for that! I have a video up for the Middle Sister as well. Here it is. It's long but our group really enjoyed it. I've also got a couple of Yamnuska videos having done it a couple of times.

Hey Harlan, I just did Lougheed #2 in the summer. Is this a tougher grind or the same?

@HarlanFox--Scrambles Жыл бұрын

.. Well I enjoyed Lougheed much more. I didn't enjoy Fortress as much as I thought I would. The grind up to the col was really bad. Still never a bad day in the mountains. Do the loop with headwall lakes. Cheers!

Hi Harlan ...Can I ask you .. which route is your dangerous one from many of them in Rockies , what I saw ..watching your I believed is very scary Mt' Niblock..!? I like to see this video! Ok! This is very good scramble too..

@HarlanFox--Scrambles 7 жыл бұрын

Tony sterl Hey Tony. I would say likely Lady Mcdonald would likely be the "scariest" only due to the summit ridge you have to cross. Niblock actually wasn't scary just a whole lot of scrambly fun!

Does anyone know:Which one is harder between The Fortress and Mount Temple. Finished The Fortress this year, considering going to the Mount Temple next year.

@HarlanFox--Scrambles 9 ай бұрын

... The Fortress is longer however there are more technical aspects to Temple which make it more difficult. Temple is also very weather dependent.

Harlan, Do you think that this trail would be clear to hike by the end of June?

@HarlanFox--Scrambles 5 жыл бұрын

I would think it should be all good to go by then as long as we dont get a really late snowfall.

@HarlanFox--Scrambles 5 жыл бұрын

June should be good however year to year things can really change.

Hey Harlan how are you man , love your videos! I’m actually heading down their to film and drone in September maybe helped us out with any tips

@HarlanFox--Scrambles 6 жыл бұрын

Well enjoy the mountains when you come and thanks for watching my vids! Just so you know on the drone, there are now signs in Kananaskis and Banff national Park that say no UAV's and they have been handing out fines for people flying drones. Take care and have fun in September.
