Dru Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 I climbed this peak on Saturday. From the end of Truax Creek road (2wd) this peak is a hike with a tiny bit of easy scrambling thrown in near the top. Great views of Chicotin country one way, and unclimbed faces, couloirs and so on the other way I could see Jordop's nemesis peak 8380 clearly too This might curently be the easiest Fairley guide 9000+ foot peak you can climb. Takes 4-5 hours round trip from car with minimal bushwacking (except the part where a sharp stick poked me in the eye.) I also visited the old Grey Rock mine and found some wicked crystals in the tailings. Went into the mine shaft itself but it was kinda dark and filled with water. I was worried about acid mine drainage so i didn't start wading in case it destroyed my boots. No snafflehounds or cougars seen Just freshiez Quote

I gotta showdown with that bastard next year! This time I'm gonna come at it from another angle so it won't see me coming Actually, there are some primo runs up there I'm gonna check out in the Spring when snow should cover the bush -- maybe a BCMC trip to get some fresh, unassuming, socially maladjusted individuals (a BCMC prereq!)

Dru Posted September 30, 2002 Author Posted September 30, 2002 snow almost right to summit on the NW side. Quote
Off_White Posted October 1, 2002 Posted October 1, 2002 Dru, is that shot from last weekend? Looks like a lot of snow for September (not that I'm familiar with that range in particular...) Quote
Tyrone_Shoes Posted October 1, 2002 Posted October 1, 2002 YES! did Mt. Truax three weeks ago! Very nice "hike" I launched from the top with my paraglider and landed on Truax Creek Rd. Quote
