Blowdown

                                                     Blowdown Peak-December 14th 2014

After trying top get to Blowdown Peak the previous day we decided to go back into Duffey and give it a try again.

So we started at the same spot, followed Steep Creek FSR and then followed Steep Creek Branch 4 from where we started traversing towards Blowdown Peak.

Soon we finally got into the bowl and started to make out way to the col.

The way up to the summit from the col was pretty straight forward and pretty easy.

Once we got on the summit we saw all the avalanche control buildings.

Soon we started our ski down dropping into the bowl before the col.

Sunny Side Up

                                            Sunny Side Up Peak-December 13th 2014

The plan was to get to Blowdown Peak for this day but something went wrong.

We took the Steep Creek FSR and later we took the Steep Creek Branch 4 from where instead of traversing towards our bowl towards Blowdown Peak we went straight up the ridge.

It was bushy and we were going pretty slow.

We were getting excited when we were getting closer to the ridge but then we saw how far Blowdown Peak and we knew we won't make it in time there since it was about 1.7km away.

We still decided to give it a go and see hoe the ridge would look like and just few minutes after the subsummit we turned back since there was few steep steps to get down on the ridge so we decided to turn back and leave the summit for another time and name this one Sunny Side Up.

Scuzzy and Cam's

                                     Scuzzy and Cam's Peaks-November 09th 2014

After reading Simon's trip report about doing this area we decided to give it a try with Ben and Dean.

We weren't able to drive as far and as high as we tough we will, got stopped by a big boulder on the road from where we had to hike.

From the start I was already having some problems with my hiking boots, they got a small rock stuck in them right where my toe was and took us maybe 30 minutes to try to make a small cut in the boot and get that small rock out.

We followed the Scuzzy Creek FSR to Skuppah Lake Spur road where there is a small clearcut just below the SW ridge of Cam's.

From there we bushwacked up towards the ridge which we followed to the summit of Cam's Peak.

From the summit of Cam's Peak we descended into the Scuzzy-Cam's col and from there we went up the South ridge to the summit of Scuzzy.

For our way back instead of going the same way we decided to just take the SE ridge of Scuzzy Peak and make our back down to Scuzzy SE Spur road from where we later joined Scuzzy Creek FSR.

The way was pretty bushy but we still saved some time.
