Location: 49.73361,-125.83000 49:44:01, -125:49:48 10U 296077 5512857 (24 km NW of Westmin Mine). (16 km E of Gold River). NTS Mapsheet: 092.F.12 AreaCode: EM95/HI33 First Ascent: 1964 R. Facer, B. McDowell, S. Todd This peak is a triangular rock horn located in the headwaters of Elk River, forming a hydrographic divide. The Wolf, Elk, Ucona Rivers, and Cervus Creek all flow from Rambler. The regular route ascends a steep gully that begins at the left side of the upper right part of the snowfield. It is at least class 4 and has some loose rock, so helmets are advised. The upper face in the centre of the photo, above the snowfield, has been climbed at least a couple of different ways of low to mid class 5 difficulty on solid rock. Access to these routes is generally via a lower rock (or snow, early in the season) gully that reaches this snowfield at its left end. The somewhat popular west buttress route is on the opposite side of the mountain. The peak on the left is Rambler Jr, a dramatic fin of rock that is more impressive seen end-on. Name Notes: The summit is named after the Island Mountain Ramblers party who made the first ascent. | | Trip Reports within 1 km 69 2005.07.30 Golden Hinde Traverse with a Twist: From the Elk River to Phillips Creek Gord Johnson 36 2004.08.09 Rambler Peak via Standard Route Gord Johnson 35 1995.08.01 Marble Meadows to Elk River via Golden Hinde Tim Deutscher 45 1994.07.26 Elk River Ramble - Climb Rambler Peak, Mount Devoe Len Zedel Comments | Subject Photos View Thumbnails 9 Rambler Peak and Upper Elk River Valley Len Zedel 6 Rambler Peak from the Upper Elk Valley David Campbell 5 Rambler Peak from Trio Mountain Sasha KubicekPlacename Photos 9 Golden Hinde and other big peaks from northern subpeak of Mount Tom Taylor Lucas Earl 7 Mount Albert Edward Panorama ID Key Sandy Briggs 5 Puzzle Mountain area peaks from Trio Mountain Sasha Kubicek 5 Scimitar Peak and Mount Splendour, Strathcona Park Sandy Briggs 2 Rambler Peak Steven Harng |
