| === Christian ===
| |
|
| |
| Growing up in Ontario, Christian began camping, backpacking, and canoe tripping during childhood. Upon moving to Vancouver in September 2005 for graduate studies at UBC, Christian shifted his outdoor focus to better suit the mountains. After going on an introductory backcountry ski-tour with UBC's Varsity Outdoor Club in 2006 Christian discovered his true passion, and was organizing his own VOC ski-tours within a few months. Since then he's spent over 100 days on skis in the backcountry. During the summer Christian spends his time scrambling peaks and organizing the maintenance of the the VOC's backcountry huts and trails.
| |
|
| |
| In the summer of 2006 he participated in a self-supported kayaked accessed attempt on Mount Waddington via Knight Inlet, including a 230km kayak approach. Logistically successful, the party of three made it to the head of Knight Inlet bringing with them full mountaineering gear for rock, snow and ice. Unfortunately, one party member became seriously ill on the second day of the land portion - this illness spread to the rest of the group and the party was forced to abandon the trip. Once everyone had recovered the party kayaked out, returning 30 days after departure (4 days early). Although the expedition failed to reach the alpine, it served as an eye opening experience to the possibilities (and difficulties) of totally self-supported travel.
| |
|
| |
| Christian's role as an executive member of the VOC, with frequent organization of VOC trips as well as experience in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves have prepared him for his leadership role on the expedition.
| |

| == Trip Plan == | | == Trip Plan == |
|
| |
| Our plan is to leave Quadra Island on the 30th, arriving at the head
| |
| of Bute Inlet via kayak on May 4th or 5th from where we will gain the
| |
| alpine via logging roads up House Mountain (N 50°54' 46.1" W 124°56'
| |
| 46.0") and traverse into the Whitemantle Range over Cumsack and Brig
| |
| (N 50°58' 59.9" W 125°05' 17.9") hopefully crossing Brig on or around
| |
| May 9th. From there we will traverse North through the Whitemantle
| |
| Range along the route described is Baldwin's ski guide and hopefully
| |
| crossing by Dauntless (N 51°13' 00.1" W 125°20' 35.9") and into the
| |
| Waddington Range on or around May 14th. On or around May 18th we hope
| |
| to ski the NW summit of Waddington then ski out via the Waddington
| |
| Glacier to Coola Creek and return to Bute Inlet via the logging roads
| |
| on the Homathko River by May 21st. Of course, this plan is a
| |
| best-case scenario. The most likely short-cuts are to remove the NW
| |
| summit of Waddington , or to fail to even find a route up Brig from
| |
| the East side allowing access into the Whitemantle range and being
| |
| forced to back off the way we came.

| The team have a VHF radio and may be able to make contact en route with Whitesaddle Air and the Homathko logging camp. This is not guaranteed, as the radio might simply not be working. They should, however, definitely be able to make contact from the Homathko logging camp at the head of Bute Inlet, where there is a landline phone, and back at Quadra Island.
