Trip length is about 3-4 days.
Interested Participants
- Richard So
- Tim Blair
- Christian Veenstra
- Ben Singleton-Polster
- Scott Webster
- Sebastian Oppel
- Fred Touche (maybe)
Details:
Glacier Gear:
- One 30m rope between 3 people.
- Ice axe?
- Harness?
- Crampons? (I don't think we'll need them)
Road Access:
Ashlu Main
Hedberg & Associates 604-815-4555 seem to be the people using this road.
According to a post on Bivouac.com, the IPP construction is keeping the Ashlu-Main road clear of snow to Km 6. We should look at the maps at see if we want to take Ashlu A700/720 up to Buck Mountain to start (steep bushwack likely), and then ski down the road from Shortcut Creek (approx 18km) or the opposite.
