Map: 82F/14 Slocan
Access: From the Slocan Chief Cabin.
Kokanee Glacier Trail: Approach by trail from the cabin. The “best and safest” route is the trail behind the terminal moraine which leads left under The Battleship to the left (east) side of The Battleship. There are also two routes up the right (west) side of The Battleship, the left-hand trail on rock and the right-hand on snow, close to each other.
The names of The Battleship and The Giant’s Kneecap may have been interchanged on the map, because The Battleship resembles a knee, and The Giant’s Kneecap distinctly looks like a World War I battleship.
