  This shows the main summit at left and the northwest summit at right, with the other 2 peaks of the massif out of the picture to the left. Because the northwest summit is most visible to people from the highway around Dead Man's Flats most mistake it for Mount Lougheed proper. All 4 peaks form an alpine route called the Lougheed Traverse and the northwest summit has a few other routes. There was also a serious, loose alpine route put up on the north face of the northwest summit which faces the camera but is not recommended by the first ascent party. The route is called The Warrior and is named in honor of Brian "BJ" Wallace who died on the original first attempt which was not completed. For more information that route is detailed in Bow Valley Rock guidebook and the Traverse in Selected Alpine Climbs in the Canadian Rockies (Dougherty).
