Yamnuska West Col (650 m elev. gain)

Kona Yam-Goat Col

Windy mid-February day at col between Yamnuska and Goat Mountain after following the new scrambler’s descent route (most of the way, lost trail near end in fresh wind-blown snow)

Trail Sign near col

No fresh tracks on West Col Descent route

West Col route sign near end of loop

Unable to locate trail shortly after this point due to fresh windblown snow, so headed up a bare scree slope to regain old trail.
