UNNAMED 2480m & UNNAMED 2610m

UNNAMED 466227  2480m
A minor but dramatic peak on the watershed 0.5 km directly west of upper Hird Lake. A higher summit (2610m) is 0.5 km southwest of it and west-southwest of the lake. Two kilometres due north of Mount Bor.
Normally these would be accessed as part of a traverse of the Valhallas or as a day trip from Gwillim Basin.

1. Southeast Face. Start at a grassy bench in the middle of the base of the face. Two pitches lead to another grassy ledge, just to the right of a short reddish-brown gully. Cross the gully and ascend left across a broad area of light rock.
A steep climb to the right gains a tree band, allowing a scramble to the summit. Eight pitches in all on solid and easily protected rock. (II,5.4).
FRA Jim Harrang, Philip Smith, July 31, 1992. 

2. Northern Couloirs. Descended by the party of Route 1.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
