DEMERS PEAK

DEMERS PEAK 2670m (8750′)
Located 3.5 kilometres west of the west end of Beatrice Lake and 2 km east of the watershed crest of the Valhallas. 1km north of the second and third Demers Lakes.
Demers Peak, Urd Peak and Mount Dorval are summits that can be hiked, and which can be approached from the Demers Lakes or Hird Lakes areas (northwest of Evans Lake). Practically these mountains would normally be climbed only during a traverse of the Valhallas. An approach from Beatrice Lake simply to climb them would be masochistic – this is one of the worst bushwhacks on the planet – the shore of Beatrice Lake is the worst part.

Elevation gain: 1670 ft from Upper Demers Lake 
Key Elevations: Upper Demers Lake 7100 ft; Beatrice Lake 1451m (4760′); Summit 2670m (8750′)
Map: 82F/13 

Routes:
1. South Slopes. Ascend from Beatrice Lake to Demers Lakes, and then climb the south slopes, a scramble. (III,3,s).

FRA by Winston Churchill, Richard E. Plewman. 1947. 
2. Southwest Ridge. From camp just east of the westernmost Demers Lake (KMC hiking camp 1978), climb a minor knob and go up the southwest ridge, C1ass 3.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
