Full trip reports of Mt. Clemenceau, Tusk Peak, Mt. Irvine and Reconnaissance Ridge are all up my site now. Took a while to compose but worth the effort... Now I gotta do some shopping for a road trip to Montana and possibly Wyoming. Nothing crazy towards the end of season but some easy and stress-free peak-bagging. #mtclemenceau #mountclemenceau #clemenceau #clemenceauicefield #tuskpeak #alpineclimbing #mountaineering #helicamp #peakbagger #peakbagging #canadianrockies #11000er #mtshackleton #bcrockies #alpineclubofcanada #rockieshelicanada #alpinehelicopters #fortresslake

A few more photos from an ascent of the crown jewel of BC Cascades - Slesse Mountain via the standard (easiest) route, SW Buttress low 5th class yesterday with Jeff Han and @leo137a . I’d been waiting 4 years and finally got a perfect team. The summit was foggy due to convective clouds but it was a blue sky day overall so I want to share a few sunnier photos. How hard is this one? Route is mostly a scramble but it is significantly harder than any scramble is Matt Gunn’s book, but on the other hand I wouldn’t call it a “climb” neither as it’s also significantly easier than Forbidden or Liberty Bell (which shares then same YDS grade). The approach is not bad at all, trail well developed and route well cairns despite the lack of beta. There are loose rocks at places but for us, we considered the rock quality as “good” for alpine standard, so if you are a peak-bagger then this is the way to do it. Treat it with respect but don’t be too scared. You don’t need to be a rock climber to summit Slesse. Just wait till my TR is out :) #peakbagger #peakbagging #slesse #slessemountain #slessemountaintrail #mtslesse #mountslesse #slessecreek #chilliwackbc #chilliwack #alpineclimbing #mountaineering #scrambling #scramblesinswbc #explorebc

On the summit of Slesse Mountain now. What a day. Not nearly as hard as people make it sound. Only one pitch of low 5th class. #peakbagger #peakbagging #slesse #slessemountain #alpineclimbing
