"On July 27, 2017 Ruchel Stevens and I started running at the Emerald Lake Lodge parking lot, completed the first half of the Emerald Lake Triangle clockwise to the base of Wapta Mountain. We made the ascent/descent of Wapta Mountain via the Kane scrambling route and then finished off the Emerald Lake Triangle."
summitpost.org has information on the Lougheed Traverse. Jamie Junker notes: "There are a few routes one can take to complete the Lougheed Traverse, but to do it by 'fair means' most will have to follow the scrambling route detailed by Andrew Nugara in his book 'More Scrambles In The Canadian Rockies' as we did.
