Total no gondola: 1670m+ elevation gain, 9hrs
BCMC Trail Up Grouse Mt -> Alpine trail -> Standard Crown Mt. trail going up and down Crown Pass 
Meeting at the Grouse Mt. parking lot at around 6:30am and starting to hike at 7am. 

BCMC trail: 2-2.5 hrs 800m elevation point to point
Crown Mountain via alpine trail: 5 hrs 10km, 870m elevation round trip

Steep exposed scrambling sections. There are chains to assist some of the ascent. Will be a long day. But the views should make it worth it. 

Bring plenty of food and water. General 10 essentials. Bear spray. Temperatures may get close to freezing. Bring lots of layers. There is a chance of some rain. 

I will be taking breaks and going slow up the steep sections. I'm not looking for any speed records, just want to get some time in the alpine. If the ascent up to crown mountain from crown pass is too wet we will probably turn around.
