View from Grassi Lakes, Alberta

We took a hike near Canmore, Alberta and this is Chinaman Peak as seen from the path to Grassi Lakes.

Note: 1/3/2010
I found out that the proper name is Ha Ling Peak. In 1896, Ha Ling was working as a cook in Canmore. He was bet $50 that he couldn't climb the peak and return in less than 10 hours (he made it in 5). The peak was subsequently named after him.

    Did you climb to the top of Chinaman Peak?

    That North Face would probably be a difficult climb. They say you can get up the back side fairly easy though.
