On second half of this August long weekend Alex, Vlad and I took it easy and started with a short scramble up Adder Mountain. The crux was the drive and then we made it harder by taking a direct but fun route. Then on the last day we hiked up Mt. Joan and The Squarehead and finished off with dumpster-diving Little Mountain and Cottle Hill on the lowlands as we had a few hours to kill to wait for the ferry anyway. Fun trip #peakbagging with friends. The island offers much more than what us mainlanders can think about.

Part 1 of this August long weekend saw Alex @alexandru_romanciuc , Vlad @hiking_actuary and myself embracing the traffic onto Vancouver Island. I woke up at 2:30 am and still couldn’t get into the first ride. Got onto the second one at 8:40 am. Make a loop across the high country of Forbidden Plateau with ascents of Jutland Mountain, Mt. Albert Edward, Mt. Frink and Castlecrag Mountain. About 43 km of plodding over 2 days. We had some incredible scenery but the hiking was somewhat draining thank to the heat wave and the mosquitoes 🦟 .

A loop around Seymour with ascent of Runner Peak today with Matt and Twig for their #baggerchallenge project. Matt’s an expert in this area whereas I had never gone past Pump Peak in summer time so I just followed his lead. We went down Elsay Lake trail and went back up the other side (standard route). Some class 3 scramble but very short sections to reach the peak. The day was a bit too hot and humid and I’m surprisingly a little bit tired now...
