Unnamed Peak N. E. of Mt. Erasmus. This mountain (about 10,400 ft.), prominently visible from the Banff-Jasper Highway N. of the Saskatchewan Bridge, was climbed on 28 June 1951 by A. E. Creswell and Fred Ayres. It stands just across the river from the highway, three-quarters of a mile N.E. of Mt. Erasmus, and rises 5600 ft. above river level. At 4.45 A.M. we forded the N. Saskatchewan with some difficulty near mile 90.4 and entered the valley between our mountain and Survey Peak. Following the main drainage stream of the valley, we reached the S. base of the objective peak at an early hour, but lost much time reconnoitering before we found a route up the wall encircling the summit. Near the middle of the S. face, a long, snow-filled and occasionally icy couloir led us eventually to the summit, which was covered with snow at this date. We descended by the same route and recrossed the cold N. Saskatchewan River at 11.10 P.M. Evidently this was a first ascent.
