Our team intended to do Snowspider last weekend, however the area forecast had us change to the Hope area and summit Silvertip instead, so this is a do-over in case you are experiencing deja vu. Weather looks great this time around.
Long day scramble at a moderate speed (in my opinion) up steep NW Ridge slopes via the Twin One FSR: leave Friday for a Car Camp before a heavy Saturday involving some moderate bushwhacking. The FSR is in good shape, however a HC 4x4 will get you further in; otherwise a 2wd should suffice for much of the way.
- This is a scramble, and not a trail hike, so bring your brain bucket.
- Ice axe and crampons 'may' be needed/desired for the section of pocket glacier travel, although I expect soft snow for the little that remains. They could be considered optional given how late in the season this is
- A rope is optional for rappelling the summit gap, for those wanting to tag the 2nd summit; to be discussed in planning forum.
Participants should be:
- a team player ready and willing to contribute to a successful trip and a fun group experience.
- experienced, capable, and well-equipped for backcountry travel.
- in excellent physical condition and can finish the Grind or 10 km run <60 mins
- able to Lead the trip; Please do the research; at least for your own safety, if for no other reason
Glamping is certainly welcome for the Friday night car camp.
Thanks for your interest
