Mt. Garibaldi - NW Face 3/2/2008
Trip: Mt. Garibaldi - NW Face
Date: 3/2/2008
Trip Report:Good times; we skinned up from the car at 400m to the snowmobile lodge at 1400 odd metres, fairly ass as I'm sure you can imagine. From there some kindly sledders gave us a ride to the end of Brohm (next one I meet gets a beer!!) and proceeded to carve up the slope:
We found a nice bivy up on the glacier that night. The next day we went up to the peak and started bootpacking at the right side of the bergschrund.
At the base of the rockband in the middle of the pic we set off a class 1 slide which piled up around the 3rd member of our party who was taking off his skis below. That got us thinking so we turned around and went home, & what a run down that slope
. A good experience all round and too bad on missing the summit.
Gear Notes:skis & poles
Approach Notes:Get a sled!!!
