The trip will begin at Cypress and go to Porteau Cove. We would aim to leave the Cypress Parking Lot by around 6:30am, and will need to do a car drop in Porteau Cove prior to that. Details will be determined once participants are confirmed.

I plan to complete the trail in around 10 hours, *we will be hiking at a fastish pace so please ensure you have the necessary fitness to hike 29km with 1800m in elevation gain in that timeframe so we don't have to hike in the dark.
We will stop for an occasional break for water/food/scenery and a quick stop for lunch.

The trail has some sections that are technical and others that are scrambly, so experience with both is essential in order to be fast and efficient. 

Gear: 

Pack, poles, proper shoes, sunglasses, enough water/ water filter and food, 10 essentials, extra layers, headlamp.
