Beginner Friendly Trip to Mt Price

July 18st - 19rd, 2009

Pre-trip meeting

July 15th at Spanish Banks beach (at the end of Tolmie St) at 7:30pm (locaton will change if it is raining)

FAQ

What is it?

A beginner friendly trip to Mt. Price. We will hike up to Battleship Island campground on Garibaldi Lake on Saturday and attack the summit on Sunday morning, from where you can get good views of Table Mountain (where you can dream that maybe one day you can climb it...). Mt Price is a dormant volcano on the west side of Garibaldi lake. If there is interest I might point out some local flora and yummy (or not so yummy) edible wilds.

When is it?

It will be held on Saturday July 18th and 19th. We will drive up Saturday morning and leave Sunday evening.

Is it for me/you?

It is an easy scramble to the top of Mount Price and the trek to Battleship Island campground is not difficult, so as long as you are keen you should be able to make it up. The whole trip can be done in one day and we will give it two days to make it nice and easy.

Drive

Follow highway 99 North, past Squamish look for Black Tusk/ Garibaldi Lake access road on the RIGHT hand side of the highway. Turn up this road and drive to the end to get to the trail head. Meet at trail head at 9:30am and bring $5 for BC Parks camping fee. If you start to see signs for Alice Lake, you have gone too far.

Approach

Follow the Barrier trail to Garibaldi lake then south toward Mt Price, climb the NW ridge to the col between Clinker and Price.

Camping spot

We will camp at Battleship Island campground.

What to Bring

Clothes

  • 1 set of non-cotton clothes
  • 1 additional warm thing (fleece / down jacket)
  • rainjacket / pants (if it is supposed to rain. Otherwise a nice light breathable softshell would be better)
  • toque
  • gloves (light pair)
  • boots (make sure they don't eat you feet)
  • sun hat
  • gaiters (not required, but there might be snow on some parts of the trail)

  • Money for gas and BC parks fee ($20-30)

Gear

  • ski/trekking poles (poles are highly awesome for hiking, specially if your knees hurt going down hill)

Food

  • stove + pot + fuel + lighter (only one needed per food group)
  • Plastic thing to eat out of (old yogurt container? Or something fancier)
