Went all the way to the summit (2880m), which is rated as a moderate scramble. We summited around 3:00pm and only one other person came up after us, which was nice. The scramble itself is pretty fun, if you've got good shoes. Mild exposure. Views include The Twins (or one of them anyways), Mount Alberta, Mount Bryce, and I think even Edith Cavell on the distant horizon, plus all the other mountains closer to the Icefields. Saw a few bighorn sheep. Took us over 3hrs to summit, but that wasn't going very fast. I do recommend try to push onto the summit. There's no moves that are particularly sketchy, but it does take probably 30 minutes of low-technicalality stuff. It was my friends first moderate scramble and only her second scramble, and she's scared of heights, but said she'd do it again.
