Description

Looking to do a fitness loop of Slhaney and the 3 peaks of the Chief on Saturday morning. The intended route will involve via ferratas, largely ladders built into the rock but with exposure, and mild scrambling. Slips, trips and falls from several meters height are possible.

There are a few variations of route possible, but we will start and end from the Slhaney parking area on Mamquam Forest Service Road shown in below tracks.

Here are some pictures and descriptions of the approximate route: https://stevensong.com/coastal-interior-bc/sea-to-sky/stawamus-chief/

Here is one possible variation of gpx track, but we will decide final route on the fly: https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=16.0/-123.1239/49.6931&pubLink=IHmWidgHVC0Ty2RlDwKOdWt1&trackId=2f762504-e689-4e77-b697-e28977568996

We will aim to keep a good pace as this is for fitness, moderate to moderate fast at most.

Required equipment:

  • Helmet
  • Trail-ready shoes with good grip

Required experience:

  • Should be comfortable with ~class 3 scrambling and exposure, though mostly this involves ladders not climbing moves

Preference will be given to members of the Summer Mentorship 2025 cohort depending on number of sign ups.

If I have not been on a trip with you before, please describe your scrambling/climbing experience.
