The Devil's Thumb can be seen as the large chunk of rock towering behind the Big Beehive, but before Mount Whyte in the background of Lake Louise. It is about 8100 feet high at the top. It is classed as a scramble as there is no actual trail on the map, and you are expected to find your own way to the top. This was the first scramble I have ever done and it was worth every bit of effort to climb to the top of this thing.
