Please note: This trip will only proceed in favourable weather and with at least 3 people committed to the trip. Trip is approximately 25-30km in length with approximately 1500-2000m in elevation gain. There is significant navigation required and the trip may take longer than expected. It may be necessary to bivy along the way or at the Wedgemount Lake hut - I am hoping not to have to do this, but things happen.
I have not done this trip before.
Helicopter details: flying from Pemberton Airfield to Mt Currie Summit at 8am; total cost for flight with tax for 5 people is $787.00 or $157/ person for 5; $196/ person for 4; $262/ person for 3. Blackcomb Helicopters has a 24 hour cancellation policy. They will also not fly in bad weather.
Personal Equipment: glacier travelling and rescue gear eg(2 locking & 2 nonlocking carabiners; 120cm sling; personal prusic x 2; pulley; snow picket; harness) boot crampons; ski crampons; ice axe; warm clothing and gear you have for a bivy; transceiver; shovel; probe
My additional gear: Inreach; stove; 30m, 8mm glacier rope
Cheers
