Baby Munday Peak

Has anybody here climbed Baby Munday Peak in the Cheam Range? If so, what are the routes like? My friend said he's done it twice but didn't say much else. Thanks.

The standard SE Ridge route is fun, but it's a long, steep approach to get up there from Airplane Creek. Best done as a weekend trip so you can bag Stewart & The Still while you're up there.

 

Note that the bridge on the Airplane Creek road was washed out a couple of weeks ago, so depending on when they replace it, access next summer might require a long hike up from the Foley Creek FSR.

Thanks for the replies, im gonna have to wait until the spring to climb most of the peaks around here right now though.

The recent torrential rains have taken out a number of logging roads in the area. Also, there were locked gates on a number of logging roads in that area this summer. Be sure to check access before you try to climb there.

hey, I recently found a new route into that area from jones lake. you go to the end of the gravel road below the north face of stewart, make a long traverse through the bowl beneath stewart, hike to the southeast ridge and at some piont you can break into the bowl between baby munday and stwart and still. shorter but much more technical than the hike in from airplane creek.
