Trip Report
Alpine Scramble - Tomyhoi Peak/Southeast Route
A full-value overnight scramble trip with a strong and experienced team, and the weather held out for the whole trip! We tagged Tomyhoi Peak on Day 1. Routing finding and exposed scrambles made the amazing views on the top well worth it. We spent the evening at the Yellow Aster camping area. For day 2, we checked out Yellow Aster Butte on our hike out.

The trail to Yellow Aster Butte and camping area is well maintained. You might have some class 2 scrambles (unmaintained climber's trail + slabs) near the true summit of Yellow Aster Butte.
After the junction for Yellow Aster Butte (go left for Yellow Aster, go right for Tomyhoi Lake), there are a couple of creeks you can use to filter water. At the main camping area, plenty of water sources. We camped by one of the tarns for easy access to water source.
