just came back.. see trip report from wbk.   
tons of chicken wire at trail head.   
hike in is steep but short.  Applebee is a great camping area! 
camping is $10 canadian per head per night, and you pay on arrival at the Kain Hut.   The hut has daily weather forecasts. 
don't know about the guide... I would say it's straight forward if you have done some research on the routes ahead of time. 
There are great food containers at Applebee to keep away from critters.
