Overnight climb of Mamquam Mountain. Saturday - drive to the Watersprite trailhead, climb to Darling Lake and camp overnight. I've seen a few reports that the Paranoid Creek crossing is in decent shape with a log that is easily crossed au cheval. Sounds like a short not too heinous bushwhack but mostly pretty decent travel conditions. Sunday - early start to summit Mamquam with nice firm snow. Depending on timing and energy levels, we could potentially tag Delusion peak as well then return to camp, pack up and head out. There are two summit routes described in alpine select. I'm leaning towards the more direct one but we can read reports from the prior weekend and look at the conditions once we get there and make a final decision. If the weather is looking poor, will likely cancel or pick another destination. I'd like to enjoy the views!

Unfortunately, I can't share a link unless you are a member of that group.
We will rope up for the glacier. Please bring crevasse rescue gear and have practiced using it recently. You will need an ice axe and crampons and experience in using them including knowing how to self arrest.
Moderate but steady pace. Have fun as a team and take care of each other. Please be ready to contribute to group decision making.
