Overview sketch showing the east side of the Cowen Massif. The Northeast Arête and main summit of Cowen are not shown.
Mt. Cowan and the pot hole lake below. The standard route starts in the gully to the left, then exits right and about half way on to the face, where there will be lots of cairns. The West Ridge is fun too, and can be climbed b avoiding the major difficulties at 5.3-ish
