These scrambles are taken from Alan Kane's Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies.

For most trips, I've included photos along with GPS readings for elevation, height gain, total distance and time. Time is from car to car, including breaks and time spent on the summit. When weather allowed I've added summit panoramas.

Like Kane's book, height gain depicts the difference between the lowest point and highest point on the route. It does not include ups and downs.

Although rare, I've found errors in elevation or gain in guide books. Also, Alan Kane told me that summit elevations on maps are accurate to within 40 m. In recent years, GPS receivers have become highly accurate and different units (such as mine and Dinah's) usually record similar results for the same trip. Which is why I like to post my findings.

For accurate distances, I edit GPS routes to eliminate extraneous travel, for instance, wandering around a summit or backtracking to pick up my camera. Even standing still, a GPS receiver may create stray points which I delete.
