Trip Description

Tried this last week but could not procure a 4x4. Trip only proceeds if we're fortunate to have one this time around.

Expect a 5-6 hr trip  

Gain: ~1575m

Kms: ~13 (round)

Summit: 2506 m

More info can be found in the Scrambles book or on the world wide web. Mostly hiking except for a couple of Class 3 steps. No plans to go on the glacier, so leave that gear at home unless you want to explore further. 

Looking at the forecast, I not sure crampons will do much, and an ice axe might also be only valuable for summit photos. That said, perhaps bring the above as many slopes will be steep. A brain bucket however is something I always recommend.  

There's a great pictorial report (October) here: https://forums.clubtread.com/27-british-columbia/43474-beginner-partial-access-guide-birkenhead-peak.html 

If joining, please ensure you're prepared and equipped with the right knowledge and gear to complete the trip. 

Car camping the Friday night is an option.
