Note for August 18, 01: - Ian, Colin and I climbed Castle Mountain in 4 hours and 10 minutes. The view was pretty bad because of the fires in Kooteney. The route up Castle Mountain looks like it will take alot longer than it actually does. Allow around two hours up from Rockbound Lake. Ironically enough we met up with people we knew from the hiking club at the trail head and two young guys from Calgary that we met on Mt. Tyrwhitt closer to the summit. Castle Mountain was a pretty popular peak that day.

August 18, 01- Here is the vast part of the route up to the summit. It isn't steep at all and takes alot less time to hike than what it looks like. |
