You must login in order to sign up online for one of the BCMC Trips. If you don't have a BCMC membership account then please obtain one. If you'd prefer to learn more before joining then please join as a 30-day Guest member. Some trips are BCMC members only.
The route is as described in Baldwin's book. Take the Miller Bench FSR to the snow-line and then skin to about 1460m before dropping down to Miller Creek. Carry on up the valley to the near lake at the toe of the glacier and camp there. Up early to try and summit the next day.
I have not taken the FSR before and don't know how high it will go - we should plan an alternative objective if it's a no-go. I don't expect this to be an easy trip - please bear in mind before signing up. We'll have a Zoom call to discuss logistics beforehand.
The trip is weather-dependent. We will reschedule if the weather/conditions don't look favourable. Option to go April 4th and 5th instead / the following weekend.
