Elevation gain: 1300m. Distance: Roughly 17km. Pace: Fast hiking. Time: Planning for 10-11hrs total.

The scrambles book lists the ascent time as 5-7hrs, and I'm hoping to be up in no more than 5hrs, just to give a sense of the pace, but allowing for a good amount of time on the summit though, as the forecast looks excellent. Planning to move fairly quickly and efficiently thru the boulder fields, but probably stopping for a dip at some point. Expect boulder fields, some loose rock, and the usual off-trail travel, as well as some routefinding.

If anyone would like to meet behind St Davids Church before leaving Vancouver to touch base, I will be there at 5am. Otherwise we will meet at the highway maintenance yard that is 250m past the Marriott turnoff at 7:45am. We can carpool from there up the high clearance road if need be.
