Geocache Description:

This is a back country cache. There is no cell phone service anywhere near here (about 50km). So unless you have a SPOT you are on your own. Please bring what you think you will need for emergencies!

Well, after finding Sleepy_hollow's caches and the brass cap, I could not stop myself from continuing on to this peak. It is a fairly difficult scramble, but not too long.  It took me 1h to get to the peak from the brass cap.  Don't be surprised if it takes you a bit longer.  I was really pushing myself for time as I was expected back in Rocky Mountain House. 

This peak is quite narrow, so be very careful once you get to the summit.

On your way back down, there are some veins of scree that you can find to easy your descent. 

 

The hint should not be needed as this is a 1 difficulty, but if you think you need it, be warned that it is more of a spoiler than a hint.
