I tried this mountain with a bum knee last year, but only got as far as the base. It is a surprisingly beautiful alpine area, particularly early autumn when the leaves start to turn. I don't expect this scramble to be very technical: 4th class climbing at best. This will be a day of savoring the environment: those in a rush need not apply. There are a few online resources on this route: check out AllTrails for a laid-back description. 

I will bring a Zoleo for emergency use, and two Rockie Talkies.

I am a moderate hiker at a slightly moderate pace, which means I tend to fall behind the more fit variety. But, I can go all day long, which is what this trip will likely require. I have many years of experience in alpine climbing, having cut my teeth in the Rockies with the ACC Calgary Section. (I've climbed Mt. Lefroy, Huber, Victoria, Alexandra, and even led the Silverhorn on Athabasca while brutally under the weather..to name a few classics of the area). I am also a moderate rock climber, and can lead through a variety of terrain at up to 5.8.

You are a moderately fit hiker, or better. You have some background in scambling, and access to all the required equipment. This can be a trip for you, but let me know and feel free to ask questions on ability and expectations. It would be nice if you have some experience in rock climbing, but experience in exposed scrambling is a must. This probably isn't the place to find out if you can handle heights.

The objective of the day will be to get as high on the mountain as possible (which, of course, might not be the summit, but I hope not). Anticipate a long day, particularly with a slow and steady crowd. We will be a group that communicates often about how the trip is going, and the trip expectations will evolve with the nature of the group.

Meet up at East Guildford Park and Ride at 6AM. Don't be late! 

The trip date or objective may change or be canceled outright depending on the weather. A bluebird day would be ideal, but we might push ahead with intermittent weather. This will be discussed in the forum.
