36km Rountrip 1780m Elevation gain Saturday, hike in from Cheakamus Lake which is a much nicer hike than the Garibaldi lake trail. Hike past Helm creek campground and set up camp somewhere on or around Gentian Pass. Superb views all around. Sunday, wake up early and hike/scramble Castle Towers. Hike out same day.

Meet at the carpool place (to be determined) or trailhead and scramble up Blanshard peak via Evan’s Creek approach Total trip may take up to 12hr depending on the team pace

Meet at St David’s around 7am. Carpool up to Squamish, and drive up Mamquam River FSR to trail head. Vehicles will need to be high clearance 4×4.

Haven’t been to the mountains for a few weeks now – I’m going through withdrawal! 🙂 Mount Outram is mostly hiking with only a short scramble, but it’s long (18km total) with significant elevation gain (1811m total) so expect a long day. I would like to travel light and move relatively quickly.

Hike in on Saturday, climb Locomotive / Tender / Caboose / Face on Saturday / Sunday. Hike out Sunday.
