Like Ha Ling Peak, Ship's Prow is an eye-catching outlier to Mount Lawrence Grassi which forms the backdrop to Canmore on the southwestern side of the Bow Valley. The "ship's prow" is heading directly east and is very noticeable from the Trans-Canada Highway west of Dead Man's Flats. The prominent, steep ridge that forms the prow was first climbed by Chic Scott and L. McKay in 1965. It was my sister Maralee's favourite mountain. CHIC SCOTT Chic was born in Calgary in 1945 and is a fourth generation Albertan and a third generation Calgarian. The Scott family has been very active organizing amateur sport over the years. Charles F. Scott (Chic's father) was Calgary Sportsman of the Year in 1971 and was elected to the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 1974. Chic was very active as a golfer in his youth and represented Alberta at the Canadian Junior Golf Championship in 1961. However, in 1962 he took up mountain climbing and skiing and these two passions have dominated his life ever since. He was part of the first wave of homegrown Canadian climbers who were to earn their place in this British and European dominated sport.
