Location

Above the old fire lookout trail, left of the approach/descent gully to the Castle Mountain Hut. Pick through trails to the base, starting in a large bay.

Description

The topo in Banff Rock is blatantly wrong and can cause you to venture into quite loose, dangerous terrain. An updated topo has been uploaded, unsure who produced it but thank you!
