Trip Description

White Saddle Air has restarted operations as fire fighting has calmed briefly and a limited number of flights are now available. As a result I would like to organize a small group trip into the South Western Pantheons to explore a number of steep and potentially technical summits along Frontier Creek. The difficulty is unknown, but I anticipate 5th class terrain, moss covered cracks, lichen-y slabs and the usual suspects in the alpine.

We will fly out on August 5th and exit August 14th, giving us ~10 days to explore around. The trip will be base camp style as there is a nearby col that should offer a good camp site. We will head out on day trips with potential for unplanned bivies on the ridge line, but ideally heading out for single day pushes and returning in the evening.

Price will be $900 per person and I will subsidize the remaining costs of the heli ($4450 round trip). There is some flexibility to the itinerary and start date. We will leave from Vancouver on August 3rd and have room for two people.
