Routes up all of the peaks in the area vary from class 3 to class 5 including hikes, scrambles, rock routes and snow and ice routes.

Group trips will probably be in the class 3/4 range, but will be finalized depending upon the skill level and interest of the participants signing up.

Glacier travel is common in the area, but can be avoided.  Previous glacier travel experience is required and gear is required to travel on glaciers on this trip.

Subgroups and subgroup leaders are welcomed to organize for any specific routes that they are capable and interested in doing. If you would like to lead a subgroup, please let me know.

For specific route information check out Matt Gunns Scrambles in SouthWest British Columbia, Kevin McLains Alpine Select or Bivouac.com

Expenses will include fuel expenses for those riding in vehicles and for those staying in Keiths hut. I will be collecting $5 per person per night and passing that on to the hut society on behalf of the club.

Trip size: TBD, with a definite restriction of 10 staying in the hut, others can camp outside.

This trip is weather dependant.

This trip is limited to ACC or BCMC members only.
