Peveril peak is a rugged looking peak on the way to Maccarib pass in the Tonquin Valley. We access the trail by driving up the Marmot Basin ski hill road (30 min drive from Jasper townsite). Roughly 1.5 hrs up the trail is the base of the ridgeline. The climbing is on quartzite (my favorite type of rock for climbing) and generally no harder than 5.5. Short pitches of technical climbing interspersed with scrambling gain an airy summit overlooking some of the most spectacular mountain scenery around. The descent is mostly a walk/scramble back to the trail.
