"The Buckle" via Windy Point Ridge scramble - A view of the east face of "The Buckle" from the David Thompson Highway

            We were thrilled to have such good weather on our first attempt to summit "The Buckle," a highpoint just off the David Thompson Highway, west of Rocky Mountain House, but east of Banff National Park. The route to Windy Point Ridge is popular, even though it is tricky in places, and there were a few people heading there. But we only saw two other people make it to the adjacent summit of "The Buckle" that day.  Interesting wildflowers were a terrific bonus to a fine day in the mountains. We did achieve our summit, walking 6.6 km's return distance, gaining with several ups and downs 838 m's, taking just under 6 hours to do so.
