[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9182734, member: 6716779"] Silly question right but let me indulge. I was reading Dragon of Ice Spire Peak. The peak is 2500 feet high. My brain approximated that in meters. Around 700. Apparently 762 meters. Ice Spire Peak. To me that's a glorified hill. Mount Cargill dominates the skyline here. [ATTACH alt="MtCargillwinter.jpg"]321132[/ATTACH] 676 meters cold Winters day. Doesn't exactly scream ice or Peak. It's a few hours hike basically. We hike up here. We saw runners today running up it. [MEDIA=youtube]gn2XmIM-Kow[/MEDIA] It peaks at 739 meters similar in size to Ice Spire Peak. 1-2 hours depending on where you ascend from add another hour if you do the Ridgeline. Today we went about half way up we like the forest walk.
