Gorgeous day up on Flat Top Mountain today. The sole reason I came here was because I saw it on the topo map with a name.. I had little clue that this was turning into a larch-hunting trip. That was a pleasant surprise. I had not been on “Frosty East” yet but judging by people’s photos I bet this peak is probably just as good... Long drive from Vancouver to escape the rainy weather and we actually found some stretches of sunshine ☀️... Pleasant ridge walking with views and trails.

Drove out last night at 10 pm to the Coquihalla and then drove a long ass ways up Mt. Thynne via the northern access. Parked about 3 km from the summit past 1 am and slept a few hours in the truck. Leisurely hiked to the top this morning, had some fun time Googling what the heck was going on with Instagram and Facebook etc. and drove all the way back home and in time for work. This peak is surprisingly very scenic but a lot of driving on FSR is required. The road is rough and need 4WD and some good tires.

“Guardian Peak” via South Face yesterday with @lilyq528 . A somewhat small, obscured but technical summit in the “Illusion Group” near Mt. Rexford of Chilliwack Valley. Lily suggested this after flipping her Beckey’s Cascades guide. The approach was unpleasant but not the worst by this area’s standard. The climb was challenging due to water running on the slabs and we had to climb a few variation pitches away from the limited beta we had. On the descent we found a scramble route down the “SW ledge” but then still had to rappel the water pitch and rope-up to traverse the lower slab.
