Ossa Mountain (Tantalus Range)

On Monday, August 7th, with a group of three individuals (Shayan, who organized the event, Hedayat, and myself) set out to summit Ossa Mountain. We convened at 4:30 AM at the United Church in West Vancouver, our customary meeting point. The drive to the parking area in Squamish Valley covered around 100 kilometers. Our hike commenced at 6:00 AM. The first leg included a steep ascent of 3 kilometers and an elevation gain of 500 meters that led us to the junction of Ossa and Sigurd Mountains. The path, encompassing about 700 meters, took us through bushwalking.
After covering 8 kilometers, we encountered an obstacle-a glacier river crossing that was numbingly cold. Beyond this point, after a 10-kilometer hike and an elevation gain of approximately 1500 meters, we were rewarded with a mesmerizing view of glaciers and the rugged Tantalus Range mountains, a truly breathtaking sight.
Following a replenishing breakfast and refilling our water bottles, we embarked on the ascent to the peak. The final 5-kilometer stretch was steep and demanding.
In the last stretch, we encountered class 3 and 4 scrambling, which presented a manageable challenge, although we kept in mind the need to descend without ropes.
At last, we triumphantly reached the summit at 1:30 PM. Despite a few breaks for snacks, water, and breakfast, we were pleased with our timing. After capturing several drone shots and enjoying lunch, we commenced the return journey to the parking lot. Our arrival at the car was at 9:45 PM, and following dinner at a McDonald's in Squamish, we headed back home.

Looks amazing! I just did the short Crooked Falls hike yesterday in the same area and it was awesome. One day when I have more experience I want to try this hike too!

Amazing footage. Is a 4x4 required to get to the trailhead or would a regular 2wd car be ok?
