Trip Description

Saturday - Drive to Whistler and hike up to Tupper lake or to a bivy spot a bit higher up on the glacier.
Sunday - early start to climb to the summit.  Descend to camp, pack up and return to vehicles.  I'm feeling like there might be a Sunny Chiba's stop on the way home ...

We will likely 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.

The arete is about a 40-45 deg exposed snow slope.  Some good pictures in these reports:

Moderate but steady pace.  Have fun as a team and take care of each other.  Please be ready to contribute to group decision making.
