PEMBERTON ICEFIELD TRAVERSE. TWO FOUR-DAY OPTIONS. Ideally need two groups of 3 or 4. One starts at Little Ring Peak at Squamish river headwaters Saturday morning, the other at Pemberton Meadows (N. Of Overseer Mtn.) Friday evening. The Icefield should be largely bare, but at the top (2400m) there may still be snow. On the icefield need microspikes for most terrain, and snowshoes for any snow. Each group will also need rope and crevasse rescue gear. As the trailheads are so far apart, the idea is to meet in the middle and use the other car at each end.
South to North Group: Leave Saturday morning, return Tuesday evening - so FOUR DAY TRIP. Night 1 Little Ring area, night 2 top of Icefield, night 3 around Harrison Hut area.
North to South Group: Led by Oleg. He plans to leave Thursday evening / Friday morning and return Monday evening (end of the long weekend) - so FOUR DAY TRIP. Reverse itinerary.
Potential to climb Overseer (on Saturday) before starting the traverse, as we'll have all the gear to cross the glacier.already.
