Caution in the summer months when approaching the spire, on the scree slope you are walking in the firing range. When the day warms (starting as early as 7am) the ice melts and rock weathers, causing large amounts of rocks to shoot down the slope. Highly advised to take the obvious scramblers trail down or to leave early enough to avoid rock dodgeballs.

    Mega climb!! Solid rock with great movement in an incredible backdrop. For approach, take the hiker's trail all the way down then hike up more solid drainage. We found it easier than contouring scree slopes.

    Unreal. Yes, the shuttle access is a pain now. But wow is the rock and the positioning amazing.

    Outstanding. Stepping out onto the arete on P4 was a ridiculously cool feeling. The rock and the exposure and the moves were all 5 stars. Seriously one of the best climbs I've ever done. Parked at Lake Louise and biked to Moraine lake, then hiked up to sentinel pass. Full value day.
