Hi everyone,
I am going up to Wedgemount Lake with a friend who's a non-VOC member and would like to invite other people to come on out trip.
Since this is a little short notice, there will be no pre-trip meeting. Please contact me directly (preferably via mail) if you sign up and let me know your experience and if you have a car. My email address should be visible when you're logged in.
For gear, please refer to the summer overnight gear list: https://www.ubc-voc.com/wiki/Gear_lists#Summer_Overnight_Trip
The plan is to leave at a reasonably relaxed time on Thursday, hike up to Wedgemount Lake at a relaxed pace, pitch our tents and eventually explore the area a bit further, depending on how everyone is feeling. Heading back down the next day and plan to be back in Van around early afternoon.
Trail to Wedgemount Lake is about 1200m elevation gain on around 6km, so bear in mind that is is fairly steep the whole way and there might be a bit of Scrambling just before the lake.
Bonus: if there's clear sky, and I think chances are not too bad, we might see a couple shooting stars.
Cheers
Verena
