fear_and_greed Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 (edited) Climb: Mt.Matier-Not much Date of Climb: 11/2/2004 Trip Report: Had planned to do the North Face but Kumar was moving at the speed of my grandmother so we just took it easy, enjoyed ourselves and didn't make it further than the upper lake. About 1 ft. of fresh snow had fallen, in fact we had to shovel a space in the parking lot directly off the road. Temperature dipped to -18 C that night which is as cold as I've ever around here. The tent poles took two people to pull them apart as they were frozen. We'll try it again in a few weeks.

jordop Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Oh god, that trail is an ankle/knee breaker with low snow cover! What made you go in from Joffre Lakes and not Cerise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fear_and_greed Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 The plastic boxes are the new anti-rodent containers stored in a bomb/bear proof metal enclosure. We went up Joffre lakes trail because all the new snow that had dumped made the Cerise creek road impassable in my non 4 x 4 truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
