Howard

                                                     Howard Peak-November 01 2014

This was a BCMC trip organized by Alastair via Twin One Glacier.

Pretty much everybody drove the night before with Alastair and we drove in the morning to meet them by the logging road.

We managed to drive pretty high on the Twin One FSR which was in pretty good shape.

Soon we got to a section which was a bit icy where we had to stop and start our hike from there.

From the end of the road ti was pretty straight forward with the last section before the summit being exposed and steep.

Half of the group decided to wait for us while the rest of the group went for the summit of Howard which wasn't that far away and they didn't had to wait too much for us.

Once we got on the summit we enjoyed the beautiful views and soon started our way back down to the rest of the group.

The way back down to our cars was pretty fast on snowshoes following our tracks.

Colliseum,Burwell and Cathedral

                           Colliseum,Burwell and Cathedral Peaks-October 26th 2014

Dean suggested to do a local peak in the North Shore since the weather wasn't that great and none of us were into driving too far from no views so me,Dean and Ben decide to give it a try for Colliseum area.

The trail up Collisem was in pretty good shape but we didn't had any views from the summit.

From Colliseum we continued our way to Burwell and then further to Cathedral.

We got lucky to have some views on our way back down.

From Colliseum we used headlamps back down to our cars.

Gillespie and Seed

                                  Gillespie and Seed Peaks-October 12th 2014

The weather forecast wasn't looking that great but Adrien and Dean suggested to go for something more local that would still be ok with this weather which was Gillespie and Seed Peaks.

Adrien drove his Forester on the logging road with no problem with just adding few new scratches to his paint on branch E110 of the MamquamFSR.

We hiked the last bit of the road and soon we got to the trailhead which was at the edge of the clearcut.

The trail was pretty well marked and wasn't long until we got into the meadows.

First we decided to go for Mount Gillespie following the small glacier to the base of the NW ridge of the peak.

From the summit of Gillespie we went towards Seed Peak and back down the trail.

The weather was getting worse and worse as we were going down from Seed Peak and we got all wet but that didn't stop us to make a stop and eat some blueberries that we found on our way back down.
