Start from Blackcomb, 2 days trip. 40km around 2000 meters of elevation

  • Camping gear and clothing,  you should be comfortable to spend minus 10-15 C nigth in your sleeping system, we will discuss sharing tents. 
  • Water, fuel, food and sugar reserves. (Get food and energy bars for 3 days 2 nights, group needs to have at least 1 stove for 2 people)
  • Min AST1 certification, Transceiver with 100% batteries , probe and showel, headlamp/s.
  • Ropes (min 2x 30 meters for a group) and crevasse rescue/safety gear, ice axe, be ready for rappelling (do not expect it to be necessary).
  • Boot crampons (must), ski crampons (optional if you trust your skins).

  • Fitness level, should allow to make 1500 meters of elevation 25-30 km day without struggling.
  • Emergency communication, navigation tools.  

This is the first time me doing this itinerary. I want experienced people in the group that are able to contribute to route/line choosing and terrain estimation, but not blindly follow the tracks.

We will have WhatsApp group to discuss weather conditions and trip details.

Event relies on a good weather window, if weather conditions are questionable trip would be canceled or rescheduled.
