Description

For those who are not familiar with the trail, “Taint”, it is an unmaintained trail that branched off from the BCMC halfway up and involves some fun easy scrambling with minimal exposure.  The hike will finish when we reach the Grouse mountain chalet,  it will take roughly 1-1.5 hrs at a slow steady pace.  elevation gain same as the grouse grind.

 

You can find a list of hazards on the ACC website, however here is a brief list of things to be mindful of:

-Loose dirt

-loose rock on the scrambles

-slippery SALAL leaves on the trail

-roots, stumps, and dead fall

-the hiker ahead of you slipping from above.

-3 points of contact always on areas of exposure (minimal)
