When we left the rapidly filling trailhead parking punctually at 8.30am, it did not seem that the forecast +24c (for Calgary) would materialise here near Dead Man's Flats. It didn't. The trail to Wind Ridge is now well-signed and used. We crossed several good bridges and were soon on the steep ascent trail before taking a good break.
On the bypass, there are about 10 vertical metres where one will use hands to grab various solid trees. IMO, even when dry, the bypass is a scramble. It requires care and hands to descend. See Rambler definition in the Outdoor Guide page 19 " A Scramble is when an Off-Trail hike requires the use of hands to maintain balance, but does not usually require specialized climbing equipment or skills" . When wet or snowy/icy choose another trip as all routes will be slippery (dirt underfoot = mud when wet).
Lunch with good views was on the first summit out of the wind. On descent we saw some sheep and many flowers.
