Trip Description

Leave Vancouver Early morning, drive up the FSR to the Mountain Lake trailhead . Hike in to the hut and drop off extra gear. Summit Mount Sheer and return to the hut for dinner. Saturday, we can try to bag a number of peaks. Ben Lomond and Red Mountain are high on my list but there are several other Ben's in the area. We can discuss as a group Friday evening. Ella Li wrote a very nice trip report with some lovely photos on the Facebook page. Sunday morning, make an early start and hike out. I need to be back in town in the efternoon. Bring avy gear, ice axe, crampons, poles and microspikes plus everything you need for two nights in a hut.
We can maybe refine this a bit in the planning forum as we get closer but conditions are changing fast right now. Must have experience snowshoeing off trail and on steeper terrain. AST1 or equivalent experience.

$10 per night ($20 total) for the hut. I have made reservations.
I can take 4 total in my truck. Hoping we can get another vehicle to take six total.
