Upper Fowl Lake. The crux of the trip. The col in the distance is approached from the left.

At what appears to be the col, there is a bowl, and short climb up to the true col.

There are several good looking summits in this area. It would be well worth doing the Traverse slowly and peakbagging along the way.

The cairns are often dense, but due to being the same colour as the rock they can be quite hard to spot if they aren't perched on a horizon.

There is scant evidence of a trail, but following the creek a ways is a good bet.

The trail disappears, but it's so open it hardly matters. The rout follows upwards then to the right behind the trees.
