Looking for GPS track of Ralph Forester Hut trail from Kinney Lake. I do have verbal description of it from Alpine Select, but it too admits being sketchy and hard to follow. At least would be nice to have GPS position of the trailhead. Any additional beta much appreciated. :)

I dont have anything for you. I was just in the area but our sights were not on climbing Robson. There is a general lack of information on bivouac about the area. some googling turns up some stuff.

It is my understanding that most people going to that hut fly in via helicopter. flying in and out of Berg lake seemed to be done by people much to my amazement as it is a highway grade trail with part of the trail constructed via blasting solid rock.

If they fly they fly right to The Dome, as Alpine Select claims, from there it is a shorter "ridge walk" without much objective hazards that exist if climbing from the hut. I once saw a post someone managed to scramble up to The Dome from Kinney Lake which would be better for the above reason and to avoid climbing 5.3 pitch.
