Going up toward Radium Lake; mist and rain. |
|
MacDonald-Webb col, with MacDonald in the clouds. |
|
Pano from the summit of Mount Webb. Ascending the ridge from the col was a little sketchy with 50-metre visibility. Not having done the route before, I almost turned around a few hundred feet below the summit as clouds blew in. Luckily they sort of cleared. |
|
No views, but still happy on the summit ~7,100'. |
|
Sun peeks over the MacDonald-Webb col during my descent toward Radium Lake. |
|
I'm just passing through...above Radium Lake. |
|
Going for a little climb up the Flora Lake Trail (only went up for one hour). |
|
Looking back at Mount Webb from the Flora Lake trail. |
GPS cut out a number of times. Should be ~24 miles with a little more vertical gain.
Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park map.
NOTES:
- The trail up to Radium is in pretty good shape. A couple overgrown spots and some blowdown, but not bad. The logs/planks meant to keep you out of the mud are extremely slippery and way worse than just sloshing through the mud.
- Quite a bit of blowdown from Radium up to the talus that leads to the col.
- Generally easy to follow the ridge from the MacDonald-Webb col to Webb summit (definitely no problem if there is clear weather).
- Flora Lake trail is in really good shape and is a fun grunt (for at least the first 2.5 miles). Looking forward to going back to finish that one.
Also, a big congrats to
Greg for his classy finish at
Wasatch 100 (moving up from 140th to 98th over the last 60 miles!).
