Off climbing with friends Monday and Tuesday. Photograph courtesy clubtread.com regular Shakey, a better than usual view of our intended route. Up right hand ridge to summit of Williams Peak (rock horn at extreme right). Back down ridge to snowfield. Follow ridgeline right to left to summit of Goetz Peak (rocky bump at extreme left). Bivy on top of Goetz Monday night. Tuesday AM, descend southwest along ridge in middle distance to "Porcupine" Peak (dead center between Goetz and Williams). Descend south down thickly forested cliffs into a seldom-visited hanging valley full of old growth cedars. Prime spotted owl habitat! Continue on down through waterfalls, bluffs and shin-eating blueberry bushes to the Chilliwack Lake Road at dusk. Negatives: 1600m elevation gain from the valley floor with an overnight pack, and swarms of kamakazi bugs. Positives: my new MEC "Bug Shirt" and a chance to see the night sky undisturbed by Greater Vancouver's lights.Posted by Picasa
