Trip Description

Last minute trip as looks like weather will stay reasonably good on Saturday.

We will be parking in the Alexander Falls backcountry lot and accessing via the Backcountry Access Route.

This trip requires backcountry navigation experience. Participants should be fairly fit and be prepared to move at good pace all day.

Participants must bring snowshoes, avi gear, and headlamps (w spare batteries). Crampons are recommended for the top section which is often wind blasted and icy.

I'm setting this as a snowshoewing trip (longer but safer) but open to converge to backcounty skiing, should there be more interest. 

 

Please note: This is an advanced day trip requiring a high level of fitness and is not suitable as a first trip with the club. You must be able to independently navigate in the mountains.

Distance: 23 km Elevation Gain: 1514 m Summit: 2314 m Estimated Time: 9 hrs

 

We will be organizing rides at St Davids. 

Please ensure the phone number on your BCMC profile matches the number of the cell phone you will be carrying with you.

Do not sign up if you are uncomfortable traversing steep open slopes. This trip is rated C3 which means 8 to 12 hours on slopes up to 35 degrees.
