The plan was to traverse from Brandywine to Tricouni Peak then loop back to Brew group back down to my car. Got stuck in Grand Fondo traffic and made to the trailhead at noon. I parked my car at the 2km/5km sign  junction of Brandywine trailhead. I went straight up to the glacier which a little longer than I expected. The glacier was heavily broken at the bottom that forced me to take the NE ridge to the summit.

Dropped down to the South side of Brandywine then followed the West ridge to Mount Fee. There was a small pocket of glacier on the traverse but can be avoiding by down climbing a steep slab and ledges. 

I attempted the North Tower of Mount Fee but stopped 28m below the summit because of unstable rock. I did not care not making up to the summit since I've done it before.

  I descended to the East ridge of Malt back to my car. The most horrible bushwhacking I've done this season. I had to go through alders and whatever those prickly bushes tearing apart my skin.
