That is a good book, but it's more about scrambling then hiking. I'd suggest a few easier, more level hikes before attempting the scrambles.
Ribbon Creek (as previously mentioned) is pretty good. Getting to be really busy though.
Upper Kananaskis Lake has some good trails around. I always enjoyed Hidden Lake and if you can, Asper.
If you want a challenging hike spread over a 2-3 days, check out the
Northover Ridge loop. Fantastic views from the top (get to see a glacier from the top down!), and two absolutely beautiful alpine lakes. I've done it in one day... but I don't recommend that. It was... painful
