Wedgemount Lake (Whistler) BTW, the top of the Chief has some slab climbs 5.6-5.10a. You're almost guarranteed to have the slab to yourself, and the hike up with the gear is a good workout. Quote

On a related subject. When I hiked up there a year ago I was really impressed by the amount of work that was put into the trail going up there. I don't recall ever seeing someone put so much into a trail. Quote

Fence_Sitter Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 we were only planning on climbing rock on... i was just gonna wear my rock shoes down the slab on broadway... change in plans! Quote
fern Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 peaks to bag: Mt. Harvey The West Lion The Black Tusk Blackcomb Echo Lake is coooool. You should scam a canoe and go there! It's super. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Yeah, the Chief is good. I think all except one route on the top slabs of the Chief are bolted. All you need is draws. They are all about 2 pitches. Nice. I agree on the other hikes: Wedgemount Tusk Crystal Lounge Quote
