Trip Description
This classic scrambling follows the ridge between Markhor Peak and Needle Peak. We'll leave early (5.30am) to start hiking before 8am. We should be back in Vancouver around 8pm. 4 people maximum, so we can go with a single vehicle (my car is available). We'll stay grouped during all the day, and we'll take some time to enjoy the views.
Stats: D+ 1200m/10km/ Timing: Around 8 hours Difficulty: Class 4 maximum (downclimb crux), mostly Class 2 and 3.

For the downclimb, which is the crux, if someone has a 30m rope, let me know, we can take it and our rappelling equipment also. If everyone feels comfortable, we can also do without it. Helmets will be mandatory during all our time on the ridge.
Meeting point: KMS Tools, near IKEA Coquitlam. https://maps.app.goo.gl/qZ35twmZD81vXvto8 I can also pickup people at Burquitlam station since I live next to it.
