Guardian Peak, near Mt Rexford, has large slabs on its South Face, about 500m wide and up to 350m tall. I've climbed Guardian a few times by connecting treed ledges with 1-2 pitches of slab climbing at a time. For this trip, I'd like to try climbing a more sustained line up the center of the slab. I expect the climbing to be moderate (<=5.8) and reasonably protected, but runouts and more difficult climbing are certainly possible.

The approach is from Centre Creek and takes about 1.5 hours. There is some bush and a creek crossing.

Participants should have some experience multipitch climbing, preferably in the alpine, and experience hiking off trail. Moving efficiently is important for completing this trip, so efficient belay transitions, simul-climbing when appropriate, and efficiently transitioning between roped and unroped climbing will be important. Preference will be given to people I've climbed with before.
