Acces to Mt. Slesse

[DRB]

Anyone know if the road up the East side

of Slesse Creek is four wheel drivable to the Trailhead.

Access to both sides of Slesse is two wheel drivable. The Bypass Glacier is almost entirley avalanched but both sides of the mountain are almost completely devoid of snow for water. Do yourself a favour and pick up Kevin Mclane's "Alpine Select", it makes life a lot easier.

And don't park down at the fork in the road near the old buildings. The sign there says Slesse Creek Trailhead 5km (yeah we should have tried harder to find the turnout).

The Canadian Govt will tow your car leaving you a rather long hike.

Not entirely true... As of 9/Sept there's a 10-15' square snow patch near the bivi ledge at half height and another larger one right on the summit. If you had a stove you could definitely use it.

The Bypass/Pocket glacier occupies two sections of the cirque, both are easily bypassable, no need for crampons etc.

We missed the turnout from the main road to the Slesse Creek parking spot in failing light. It's on the RHS right before you reach the turn before the orange gate.

Thanks for the info Ade.
