Welcome to the VOC Wiki!

This wiki is managed by the Varsity Outdoor Club of the University of British Columbia (UBC). A wiki is a collaborative web site that can be edited by anyone. The content of this site is primarily of interest to VOC members. However, since it includes general information about hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and back-country skiing in the Coast Range it is likely to be of interest to others as well.

We welcome your contribution! However, please read the instructions before posting anything. We welcome contributions from club members and non-members alike. With your careful attention to quality this will become a very useful resource. This is a place for factual information with a long shelf life.
