The trip is open once again as several people have now cancelled...

Standard route of Slesse in a day -- a very long day  especially since I have not been able to get a key to the locked gate for Slesse Ck at the Chilliwack Lake Road. 11km of biking in (8km on logging road, 3 km on rough trail -- optional as one can walk it easily), then a steep hiking trail straight up without switchbacks, then 9 pitches of easy scrambling up to class 4 -- NO ROPES. We will fix a rope only on the short technical pitch (5.6) at the top; so bring a harness, rappel device, prussik cord, helmet... There is no access to water along the way.

Leaving Vancouver at 5:00am sharp. Leaving the car at 7am, back at car around 9pm?  I will bring my mountain bike for the 11km of biking. The last 3 km (optional) require solid intermediate MB skills. As an alternative, some people will be camping at the trailhead on the Friday night, so feel free to join them.

This trip will only go if the weather is good. Priority is given to BCMC members, and 2 spots are for people fairly new to mountaineering.
