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

The gully you need to climb to get up to Mt. Cowen is to the right of the falls. Photo taken from South shore of Elbow Lake. Montana Centennial Route is at the right edge of the photo
