* Recent edit: trip is now approaching via Brohm Ridge*
Ski ascent of Garibaldi, approach beginning at Brohm Ridge. We will snow camp near the Warren glacier and ascend NchKay on skis after an alpine start. We will have the option to stay a 2nd night in order to attempt a second peak (ie The Table, Glacier Pikes, Viking Ridge) if weather is good.
We will need good 4WD vehicles, I have a truck that can take 5.
Advanced ski touring and mountaineering experience required.
Required equipment. This list is MANDATORY, no exceptions:
- Ski touring gear in excellent condition including ski and boot crampons, ice axe
- Beacon, shovel, probe, helmet
- Crevasse rescue equipment
- Proper 3 or 4 season camping gear including tent, pad appropriate for snow and winter sleeping bag
Confirmed participants must attend an online meeting to go over expectations.
As always, weather/avvy dependent. And as always, no summit fever. Safety #1, Fun #2, Objective #3
