Fast paced trip, it is a long day and almost 2000m of climbing. Steep hike up to the glaciology huts at Cirque Lake, and then another pull up to the summit of Gardiner. When I was there before, I crossed the lake outlet on a precariously balanced wooden plank, I do not know the situation at present. I will meet at McDonald/Husky Gas Station Pemberton at 7.30am, or in Alpine Whistler. No special car required, it is regular road access. Bring a headlamp. Will cancel if weather looks less than splendid.
