Additional Info:

This hike was on Day 4 of our Mount Assiniboine backpacking trip. After Windy Ridge, it was only noon. We looked across the valley and noticed that Cave Mountain looked very easy to ascend. So we decided to scope out the route and found an easy way to get up past the first cliff band, and noticed that the rest of the hike would be easy, but a scree slog. Not even an hour later we were at the summit!

Steve at the cairn that missed the mark of the summit... It's about 100 horizontal meters away from the true summit.
