The Kain Face from camp at the saddle between "The Dome" and Robson.
The upper slopes of Robson
Gargoyles-a-plenty. Down climbing slopes below the summit. These slopes are not on the route proper!
Resplendent from Robson-Resplendent ridge. rock was mostly class 3 with occasional class 4 moves
SE ridge of Robson August 1990
Crossing the ice fall at the Robson/Resplendent Col.
Ed Cooper's Photo<br> Canadian Alpine Journal, 1973<br> <br> Cooper was a pioneering climber and photographer. It is probable that the route suggestion was drawn in by the CAJ editor.<br> <br> A good title might be:<br> "The Safest Way To Climb Robson".<br> <br> Note the absence of any suggestion of climbing the icefall via the "Mousetrap".
Near the ice fall at the Robson/Resplendent col.
Snow and rock along the ridge decent from the Kain Face climb to bypass the ice fall. Easy going snow and ice and loose 4th and 5th class rock are typical.
