		Conrad Kain of Austria was the expedition guide, Byron Harmon of Banff was the official photographer, and Phillips and Kinney were among the assistants.
		Kain made a thorough reconnaissance of Mount Robson, "and picked out what he claimed to be the proper route of ascent." [Wheeler 1912].
		Conrad considered their feat remarkable, but would have been reluctant to have it falsely recorded as an official first ascent of the great peak.

	Canadian Mountain Holidays \| About CMH - Safety
		Most of our country's great peaks were first climbed by groups guided by stalwarts like Edward Feuz Jr., who made 78 first ascents in his 41-year career, and the legendary Conrad Kain, who led the first ascent of Mount Robson in 1913, one of his more than 50 firsts.
		It's a tradition that Hans' fellow Austrian Conrad Kain followed in his long career, to "be courteous to all, and always give special attention to the weakest member of the party."
		Over 50% of our guides are fully certified by the International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA), a process that generally takes ten years, and the rest meet the rigorous standards of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG).

	Ptarmigan Tours: Purcell horse trekking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Conrad Kain, an Austrian guide, came to Canada to guide in the heyday of early climbing in the Canadian Rockies.
		Conrad inspired us and we settled on the Skookumchuck Prairie, where the Rockies is the viewscape in our front yard, but our passion lies in our backyard in that same range, the still wild Purcells.
		In the early 1930s, J. Munroe Thorington, president of the American Alpine Club and the author of the early climbing guides, would hire out Conrad with his small string of mountain horses to explore the far reaches of remote drainages that flow out of the Purcells into the Rocky Mountain Trench.

		Difficulty: Two or three hours of sustained uphill climbing, traversing narrow ledges and climbing one ladder will get you to the Conrad Kain Hut.
		While it’s by no means an easy feat, the rewards are worth the effort and the trek a great one for fit families in search of great views and climbing.
		It is closed in winter, when the only way to access the Bugaboos’ world-renowned ski terrain is through heli-skiing trips run from a luxury lodge not far from the parking and trailhead.

		The victim was evacuated from the Conrad Kain Hut by helicopter.
		Analysis: Although this accident did not involve climbing, it is included because mountaineers far from help are occasionally left injured or without shelter because of a mishap with a stove.

		However Kain was not one to just pass such things by, and in August of 1916 he returned in force to the headwaters of Bugaboo Creek with none other than the ledgendary A. MacCarthy with whom he had climbed the formidible Mt Louis, near Banff, earlier the same year.
		The route was sufficiently complex to give Conrad Kain ample opportunity to demonstrate his mastery of route finding, over the tricky bergshrund and cutting steps up the 50 degree slope in the grand old style.
		There was no way around it, and Conrad and John realized they were in a bit of a "bugaboo", hence the name of the region and the peak.
