matosan Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Howdy! Does anyone want to go scrambling this summer? If so, i've finished writing up all the descriptions for my scrambles guidebook (some minor editing still to come...) and I'm looking for people who want to test them out. If you're interested in climbing some non-technical 3rd/4th class peaks around Vancouver, these routes are for you. There is a huge range of areas, difficulties and trip lengths. if any of these sound interesting, i'll give you the description and route photos (almost all are aerial photography). The only thing i'll ask for is a bit of feedback on the route, writing, etc. If you're interested in seeing an example of the route descriptions before talking to me, go to bivouac.com and search for "tomyhoi", then click on "Scramble Route Description for Tomyhoi Peak" by me Matt Gunn. you'll have to have or obtain a free membership to use the site. Please pass this list onto anyone you think might be interested in these descriptions. I won't be around after june so if you want then for the summer please contact me soon. Contact me at matosan@hotmail.com Thanks a bunch!

matosan Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 and one more thing... if anyone has a suggestion for a route they think i NEED to include, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Simpkins Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Include: Hadley Peak (off Baker, Couger Divide), loose, but very nice. Steinbok, SW face. Very very nice views and fun easy scrambling on granite slabs. Approach sucks. Mt. Sefrit, a little more adventurous. Mt. Watson. Nice short 1 day. I like your choice of Larrabee, its fun. 3 hours car to car...via speed walking. Bring a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
