Lets have some fun ice climbing at the Coleman Glacier.
Meet up is at Tim Horton right before the Sumas border crossing at 1255 Sumas Way near Petsmart around 7 am Monday Oct. 9.
We can use the forum to arrange for car pooling.
Gear needed for the outing:
-helmet, harness, crampons (steel), ice tools, 3 long ice screws, anchor material, rope.
-Many pairs of thin layered gloves. Pair of goggles, appropriate clothing ( it may rain), lunch, snacks, warm thermos drinks preferably extra dark hot chocolate.
-Bring cash for the driver if you are getting a ride.
-Your emergency contact.
-Insurance coverage ( BCAA) just for that day and passport.
The Plan
Get to Heliotrope Ridge Parking Lot and hike in to the glacier.
We are expecting to stay till 6-7 pm.
Rain or shine this trip is a go
This is not a course. It's more like a warm-up for the upcoming ice climbing season.
