Description:
This is an introductory trip to over-night hiking and scrambling. The number of participants depends on how many experienced members will come out and as usual on the number of car-spots available. Priority will be given to the least experienced people.
The plan:
Saturday: Hike up to Taylor Meadows, drop our large pack and scramble Black Tusk (if the time allows).
Sunday: Hike up to Panorama Ridge, enjoy the views and return to the cars. Visit a pub on the way home to celebrate our success :)
Taken straight from Omids' trip last year:
The trip up to Black Tusk is a fairly straight forward hike, until you reach Black Tusk itself. There's about 100m of low exposure Class 3 scrambling at that point. We'll be going for the regularly visited summit, not the true summit. People are welcome to join for the hike to the base of the Tusk in case they don't want to do the scramble itself. Helmets are mandatory for anyone who wants to do the scramble, and ice axes are recommended.
Pretrip meeting is mandatory for beginners, as we'll go over the required gear and have time for questions. If you absolutely can't make it, let me know and we see if we can figure something out.
Gear hour will take place at the same time, so you'll be able to take advantage of our free rentals.
