For Crown, all that's needed is standard north shore day mountaineering equipment.
The Camel will involve climbing and rappelling, so climbers will need helmet, harness,
rappel/belay device and carabiner, shoes, and standard climbing equipment.

Trip objectives (weather dependent):
1. Ascend Crown Mountain (hike/scramble).
2. Climb the Camel (middle fifth class).
3. Break the 1923 record for most persons on the Camel's head at once. (12 - see photo. Tom Fyles is the person on right.)
4. Fly a large Canadian flag in the gap between Crown and Camel. Ideally one visible from Canada Place. We have a 6 m x 12 m flag, and are working on getting a larger one. The flag and lines would only be in place for an hour or two, and the aviation authorities notified.
5. Get drone footage of everything, if it's possible to do so.
6. Have a post-trip social.
We'll probably have an early start, and some may go up the day before to set things up.
