Evans Peak

When Avalanche warnings are high I train on a handful of local peaks, this is one of them.
I have written about Evans in winter numerous times here... cruise through my posts to get whatever beta you need... in brief, in dead of winter, poles, snowshoes, crampons and ice ax.
I also like to chain this with the Alouette peak in summer and winter if you want a longer day as I did here and I will post the GPX track here that accommodates both.
