It turned out to be a great day to do this scramble/ ridgewalk traverse. While the tops of the high peaks on the Great Divide remained in the clouds, we enjoyed nice sun/cloud weather on the East side of the TransCanada. The trip began with the usual trek up the Temple Lodge Road and then on to the Wolverine Valley trail.

Once we reached the middle of the flat meadow area in Wolverine Valley, we angled up diagonally left towards the ridge between Redoubt Mountain and Unity Peak.

The footing was good all the way to the ridge, as we were able to use vegetated slopes to avoid any scree.

Once on the ridge, it is an short, easy hike up to the small summit block of Unity Peak. We traversed a short distance to the right and then scrambled up the stove/refrigerator size blocks of quartzite to reach the summit of Unity.

It took 3 hours to reach the summit from our starting point at Fish Creek parking lot. The summit of Unity only has room for one person, so no group photo on the summit. We descended the South ridge of Unity until we were forced by steep cliffs to descend a series of easy ledges on the East side of Unity. The group traversed the ledges towards the South end of of Unity Peak and after down climbing a couple of cliff bands we found ourselves at the base of Unity.

We then stopped to enjoy a pleasant lunch in the sun and out of the wind. Since the rest if the traverse is a ridge walk with no scrambling, we removed our helmets and headed towards Purple Peak/mound. The soft firm talus provided great traction all the way along the ridge. We did have to make one short detour to the East to get around one large pinnacle on the ridge.

We made a brief stop at the top of Purple Peak before continuing on to Lipalian Mountain.

The group reached the top of Lipalian at 2:30 PM. We took a long break at the summit of Lipalian to enjoy the views.

The group had a great scree run down the NorthWest side of Lipalian and we soon found ourselves at the top of the Larch Chair lift. The green Lookout ski run provided easy access back down to the Temple Road. We were back at our vehicles at 4:30 PM.
