Locomotive,Tender,Caboose,Faceless,Face Peaks

                           Locomotive,Tender,Caboose,Faceless,Face Peaks-August 04 2013

After doing Grouty Peak the day before we woke up the next day and after having our breakfast drove down to the trailhead of Locomotive group which was just 1 km away.

There was a lot of cars at the trailhead we barely found a spot to park.

Soon we started hiking and it was shocking how fast we got to the lake and how many tents were by the lake.



We look at our route down that we will take to have a better idea where to go near the water fall and soon we started our way to Locomotive Peak.





Didn't had to do any navigation there was lots of cairns showing you the way and were just following them.

Once we were making our way to the summit we looked back and we saw that huge blanket of clouds in front of us.






There was  tricky move to get on the summit of Locomotive, had to squeeze our bodies into a gap between some snow and rock.







Soon we got on the summit of Locomotive and could see our entire route  all the way to Face Peak.







The ridge from Locomotive to out next peaks was pretty easy ,mostly just walking along the ridge and just Face Mountain had a tricky loose gully that wasn't that fun.












From Face Peak we took the glacier down and as we looked earlier today we stayed on the left side of the water fall while going down.










There was a series of ledges which worked out perfectly and in no time we were down by the lake.




We got back to the car in no time and soon started our long drive back to Vancouver.
