We drove up on Saturday afternoon, removing a few obstacles along the way.
To where the logging road ends at 1600m.
Tents, dinner, beer, fire, bed. Pretty much in that order. Except with more beer.
We got an early start the next morning hoping that the snow would support our weight. Before long we were above the trees and working our way across old avalanche debris up to a col on the west ridge.
From the col we scrambled over loose and shattered rock before post-holing the rest of the way to the summit.
We had some fine views of the peaks south of Revelstoke.
And came across this mass of ladybugs swarming all over the sunny rocks.
They were everywhere, providing a stunning contrast against the dark lichen coloured rock.
A fun day out and a great early season destination.
