The goal is to scramble the to the peak of [http://bivouac.com/MtnPg.asp?MtnId=742 Ossa Mountain] in the Tantalus Range, with an overnight stop along the way.  The scramble is in Matt Gunn's Guidebook, rated as having "one difficult notch", with 2200m total elevation gain.  Also, we don't have to miss Thanksgiving.
The goal is to scramble the to the peak of [http://www.clubtread.com/Routes/Route.aspx?Route=934 Mount MacDonald] in Chilliwack in one day.  MacDonald is listed in Matt Gunn's Scrambles as a moderate scramble so a helmet is required.  The trailhead is only about 2 hours drive from Vancouver and is accessible by 2WD vehicles.


* '''Why is this Beginner Friendly?''' - I intend this trip for people who have some camping and hiking experience but are not as experienced in scrambling.  It might be challenging.  See the VOC definition of beginner friendly [[Glossary|here]].
