Strong work and excellent TR guys. You had WAY more snow on the route than we did in 1981. I will scan some slides and post eventually. Joberg and Torment were climbed the same weekend we went up Forbidden, although we didn't know about each other's climbs til weeks later.

the bivy/camping is much better at the rest area about 5km north. take the Coquihalla Lakes exit. Flush toilets, picnic tables, sort of quiet spots in the woods couple hundred yards from the highway.

my memory of descending Tower's gully is it is one of the worst in my 35 years the Cascades.

This tower could be called "Vegan" since it it just N of Vega Tower.

"how come you didn't go in via manning park?" It's the journey, not the destination. border "issues" might be another factor.
