Itinerary:

Saturday, April 12: Meet at the trailhead at the end of Highway 40 (just before the closed winter gate into Highwood Pass https://maps.app.goo.gl/ovj5ZbLxhjp1Mg4r7) at 7:30am with your bag packed and ready to walk away from the cars. The plan is to sign waivers and be making the way along the approach at 7:45 am so we don't get scooped!! We will set up top ropes and start climbing.

We will climb for the day with lots of stoke and safety!

If people are interested we can all stop for dinner and beverages somewhere after and recount stories of the day!!

Please note that the approach goes through a few small avalanche paths. The hazard can typically be addressed by moving quickly one at a time across the paths. Weather and avalanche conditions will be monitored closely up to the date to ensure safety.

This is the general plan as of now, but may change based on conditions.If you have any questions, reach out on whatsApp or email (roffeyc@gmail.com)

Once you are registered we will add you to the Whatsapp group to chat and work out details.

Required Items to Bring:

 Helmet, harness, mountaineering boots with appropriate crampons, ice tools, water, snacks, and any other climbing gear you wish to bring. Please ensure that you bring warm and waterproof clothing to be in the mountains for a full spring day. 


Recommended Items to Bring:

All the stoke!
