Interesting. You can tell how windy it can be in mountains.

West side of Stanley Peak. Reminds me of Castle Mountain.

Mount Whymper. It was funny that everywhere else was clear and sunny but here. Everything was covered by heavy fog when I started hiking, but as I went higher the fog started disappearing. As I started descent, fog appeared again. I was there at the right time.

The peak on the left is unnamed. The right is Stanley Peak. These peaks are Great Divide. Usually I hike the other side, Alberta side, but today I am on BC side.

Side face of Stanley Peak. Right side is not the peak, it's actually lower even though it looks taller.

Notice how dark the valley is. Even though the sun was at as high as it can be, it wasn't high enough to bring the light over the peaks.
