Also - what is the deal these days with Waddington hike-ins? Even if one would be willing to hike from the coast, there seems to be no way to get to the starting points on the Knight and Bute Inlets, or even from the East, or am I mistaken? I cannot find any recent accounts of ascents w/o heli-drops....

Hi again! Thanks for all the replies, I slowly get an idea about the situation. I am in contact with the Ministry of Forests, thanks for that hint! @Don Serl: Great to have a reply from you! I have your book (planned a Waddington climb with it for next year), but not with me, gotta get that soon. Btw - these ideas are for this April, I never mentioned the month. Thanks again, Peter

Hi! Thanks for your replies, Matt & Steller! I did look into that Ape Lake approach before, this was my plan B actually, I was just a bit unsure how long this would really take to hike in there, as I have no experience with this range at all. Would be awesome if you could get back to me after your stay at Pantheon, Steller. Cheers, Peter

Hi! Does anyone here know of logging camps in the Monarch or Waddington area that are served by scheduled plane flights? We are looking for fairly cheap access options into these ranges. We are willing to do long hike-ins, just getting somewhat close to the peaks would be neat. Thanks, Peter

Price now down to 270, or best offer.

I am selling a pair of Fritschi Explore, size M (280-335mm boot sole length). The binding was mounted, but has never been used. It misses one of the return springs, I might be able to get one from Fritschi though if really need to be. XL ski stoppers (up to 100mm) are included. Crampons for skis up to 78mm in width I can also throw in if needed. $300 or best offer. I live in BC but can ship them.
