Yesterday we drove up to what we thought (think?) was the high point on the ridge where the ski area used to be. There was really bad weather - thick fog and rain - so it was hard to see exactly where we were. Alls I know is that the road ended at a major alpine rockslide and that there was a little cairn on a rock where we parked. We turned off the highway then turned left at the Brohm Ridge sign. Then we followed our nose upwards. The only real landmark (that we could see in the fog)

Nice climb and photos to boot!!

The road up to Tricouni is called the High Falls Creek Road (branch 200 off the Squamish Main Line). I drove up it in April to where we hit snow at about 2,500 ft. The road was in good shape but its a bit steep and in the middle there's pretty crazy exposure. I drove up and down in 4wd low in my Pathfinder. Once you turn the corner visible from below the road mellows out and is less freaky. Way back in 1993 I had to walk all the way up this road as I was driving a Subie. We climbed a peak just south of Tricouni. It was quite a memorable trip. Was in the Spring. Bottom line in a 2wd car you MIGHT make it up the road but your nerves might be a bit raw...

Here's a photo of the Labour Day Butress that I took last October.
