usa or canada climbing in august- places to go 17-Jun-2010 At 2:40:03 PM climbingfool

if you do get up to jasper, a good day trip is to climb the guides route (5.7 or 10a depending on what final pitch you do) on Morrow Peak, then hike over the top, get into the river and follow it down and descend morrow canyon via 6-7 wet and dry abseils. access via the overland mtn bike/hiking trail.

Mt Edith Cavell near jasper is a good, easy peak as well. The east ridge is very nice and generally clear of snow and ice by august and depending on your comfort level, roping up is not mandatory. maybe 15 m of easy 5.6 climbing. if there is some snow, you can usually walk around it.

cadot crack is also amazing, 5.8, 6 pitches, near jasper, above a lake i forgot the name of...maybe medicine lake.

there is a better guide out now for the jasper area.
