The Hole in the Wall is a large natural cave set high on the western side of Mount Cory, and it’s one of the most distinctive features along the scramble route. The cave is reached via a steep side path off the main ascent, and its wide opening frames impressive views over the Bow Valley and surrounding cliffs. The terrain leading to it is loose and exposed, so it’s best approached only by confident scramblers — but for those who make the detour, it’s a memorable stop on the way to the summit.
