Description

Located south of Mount Sparrowhawk, northwest of Mount Engadine, and directly east of Spray Lake it forms the northwest end of the Kananaskis Range. The official scramble route uses Buller Pass Trail to gain the southwest slopes but another alternative is to park directly below the northwest side on the Spray Lakes Road and use the large gully to gain the col. From the col it is moderate scrambling except a short section on a slab that is exposed on both sides.

It was named after Henry Cecil Buller who was a lieutenant in the well known Princess Patricia's Light Infantry which was originally based out of Calgary and CFB Calgary.
