Via Welsh Lakes.
Ref: Aaron Cameron and Matt Gunn's Hikes
around
Invermere & the Columbia River Valley.
From the back of Middle Welsh Lake, 354074, work your way through the
boulder field towards Antrim's north-west
slopes then traverse in a southerly direction to easily reach the
summit of Leitrim. There is no need to gain the col between Antrim and
Leitrim. |

On our way to the
lakes. |
| Scramble: We camped
at the
Middle Welsh Lake. The next day we woke up to at least 5 cm of fresh
snow. I
hurried to the summit while Fab built a fire to keep the Pup warm and
give me a great welcome back! |

Fresh snow the next
