Sky Walking, Mt. Nimbus, Canada

This via ferrata in Canada’s Purcell mountains is the nation’s largest, and the most remote in the mountainous country—or perhaps anywhere. The Mt. Nimbus route, which ascends the 8,000-foot Trundle Mountain is so deep in the northern Rocky Mountains that a helicopter is the only sane way to reach it.

The two-and-a-half-hour climb takes climbers into a high-altitude dreamscape of rock, snow and smoky fog. The route traverses narrow ridges and gendarmes. The crescendo comes as climbers must negotiate a suspension bridge that spans two mighty exposed spires.
