wayne Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 O.K. has anyone seen the new guide to southern B.C. Selected Alpine Climbs? IT is staggering, the pictures and routes are amazing. "All climbs within a weekend of Vancouver" . Who has done what that is classic? POST AWAY PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordo Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 You see Wayne, you really weren't supposed to see that book. Its a huge secret that we Canuckleheads are trying to keep to ourselves. So mind your own damned business! Just kidding. All the routes in Chilliwack are killer, the North Rib on Slesse is underrated next to its more famous neighbour, the NE Buttrash. A traverse of the Rexford group is about the best damned day in the mountains you could have, and the two eastern ridges are nice too. Beware though, not all of the routes are weekendable, even from Vancouver. Any route in the Chehalis is going to be a hell of a lot more enjoyable if you've got three days. I've heard Wahoo Tower is mind-blowing -- if you can swing a helicopter. Steinbok Arete is one of the best kept secrets in BC -- hard and clean on the upper bits. Yep, pretty much all the routes are good and there's lots not in the book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 I know, that guide is insane, BC is on another level, nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 The Old Settler is the best mountain in the world. As for the other peaks in the guide I don't know I haven't climbed any of them too busy spraying (on stealth mission today checking out big walls in Powell River) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriknusanet Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 I agree, the book is really nicely done. I did Mt. Matier, Northeast Face using the book, it was a great day. I put a trip report up in the "BC" section of this website. ------------------ erik@MyPhysicsLab.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 yeah, i got ahold of that guide and found myself on the NE Arete of wedge mountain. beautiful route/area, and you only need two days car-car. you wont be disappointed, and if somehow you are, wedge is one of the higher summits in the area, so you will be able to scope out a whole bunch of other mountains. have fun.
