Description

Looking for people interested in attempting the Markhor-Needle traverse.  This is a challenging scramble in the Coquihalla Summit area — I haven’t done it before, so it will be somewhat played by ear with some chance of retreating off.  If anyone who’s done the route before would like to join, it would be much appreciated!

See this trip report for a brief description of the route: https://www.mountaineers.org/activities/trip-reports/basic-rock-climb-markhor-peak-needle-traverse.

Required Gear:

  • Helmet
  • Harness/Belay Device/Sling/Prussic Cord (for possible rappel off Markhor)
