    Great video and great to see people getting out and exploring our mountains! Brings back great memories. Did the east ridge in late October, 2000 without the bugs. We climbed up the crux ridge but found the goat ledges that you mentioned on he way back down. We were hoofing it that day as we were worried about the short days. Tyroleaning the cable we went car to car in 8 hours with a long summit break and my partner Guy took the boat out from the Alpine club cabin for a quick spin. Such amazing mountains for being so close to Vancouver.

      It is! Most of it is pretty solid, but one always has to be careful just in case something is loose.

    Just incredible🌟Jeez Luke I would be so anxious about one of those rocks coming off as I am pulling myself up😰

    • @lifeofluke
      @lifeofluke  2 роки тому

      That's why we were both very careful to test all holds before pulling or putting weight on them. That's best practice!

    Luke!! It’s your cousin Maxine! I found your UA-cam page and it’s awesome! I’m actually in Washington right now and got to do some hiking. I’ve been wanting to plan a trip to Canada and do some exploring up there. You seem like the right person to talk to about all of the best places to check out. Maybe we can link up and I could learn some stuff! I need to get your number!

    • @lifeofluke

    • @lifeofluke
      @lifeofluke  2 роки тому

      Thanks Doug! It was pretty chill at first, then we had to downclimb another steep exposed cliff section, after that just slopes of scree and heather (but long) back to the trail

      Thanks, the access is about the 6km mark on the Squamish valley rd, which leads to the river and a water survey cable

  • @WhereKentWent
    @WhereKentWent 2 роки тому +1

    Dang Luke looks like you had to do a couple spicy moves on that ridge. Looks like a blast though. Did you descend down a different route? Congrats on not only a challenging climb but also what looked like a super slow moving, tough approach.

    • @lifeofluke
      @lifeofluke  2 роки тому +1

      Yep, I didn't even record the spiciest part, because I was not stopping to pull out a camera. We descended the west ridge which is less exposed, but still quite long
