Description

Classic Matt Gunn route up the west face to south ridge. Mostly 3rd class with a touch of low 5th class. No scrambling experience required. Expect ~20km with 1000-1400m elevation gain depending on how far along the FSR we can drive up. We will go at a reasonable pace so no expert fitness required, however it would be great if you’ve done a hike with at least 800-1000m elevation gain this year.
We will meet at St Davids Church at 4:15am and Squamish McDonalds at 5:15am.
