Mount Jasper Northeast Face Map

This holds really good snow late in the year, and is the common approach for all the lines on Jasper. It's a fairly mellow descent in terms of slope angle. Follow Middle Boulder Creek for a mile or so, until you hit the Diamond Lake Trail. This is where you turn off the trail to head through the trees and up the big face you can see. The summit isn't far from the top of the face.
