Trip: Southern Selkirk wanderings -

 

Date: 9/20/2005

 

Trip Report:

I went on a road trip through SE BC years ago and had a great time admiring the mix of loose and icy Canadian Rockies and wet Cascades that is the Selkirks. In between sampling the area hotsprings and hanging out with logging protesters we managed to climb Patience Mountain, a 9000' peak a little ways South of the Trans Canada near Rogers Pass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's some impressive stuff back there. As far as I know there are no technical routes established on the peaks in the panorama, its only been hit by heli-skiers. The face opposite the camera, South-facing, on the left most peak, Hope, is some 2000' high, looks like good rock, and is unclimbed. Check out the back cover of the Southern Selkirks guide for another look.
