Trip Description

The plan for this trip is to climb two routes on Stonerabbit: the well known SE face scramble (4th class) and a less known route on the S face (5.6, 10pitches).

Participants should have experience trad climbing, preferably in the alpine, and scrambling 4th class terrain.

Aproach: hike 4.8km on the Skwellepil Creek road (1-1.5 hours). Scramble up a mostly dry rocky creekbed (3 hours or so, and will be difficult with a heavy pack). Camp in the flat area at the top of the creek. Could also consider camping at the end of the road.

Rabbit's Face (SE Face): has many trip reports online, e.g. Song ; So . Marc-Andre LeClerc suggested it as one of the best scrambles in the N Cascades, saying "1000m of rock, no bush. perfect granite." (the 1000m includes the approach up the creekbed).

S Face: was first climbed by Dave Ewert and Reinhard Fabische in 10 pitches up to 5.6. I'll post the article from the 1992 Canadian Alpine Journal in the planning forum. I haven't found any descriptions of subsequent ascents.
