hiking Ample Mountain - November 11 2024 A fairly tame peak with respect to stats, but if one doesn't know about the decent trails that are present, then it can turn into a bit of a bushwhacking adventure. Great views at the top for your effort, though (not that we saw much of them)
hiking Mount Kobau - November 10 2024 A mostly-driveable but prominent peak west of Osoyoos and east of Keremeos, makes for a good easy hike with the less-suffering-inclined, or an easy peak to bag when the conditions don't allow for anything more challenging
hiking Baldy Mountain - November 10 2024 An easy ski tour up and down a ski resort to a prominent summit, with no avalanche terrain. Great for a day when the snow is there but the weather isn't giving you much else
hiking Mount Bonaparte - November 9 2024 A gentle hike to a fairly prominent peak in north-central Washington, with nice views from the lookout tower on top.
hiking The Camels Back - October 26 2024 A less-frequented summit above Pemberton Meadows, but (for now) it has a fairly high access road that makes the hike short, if a bit wild with no trail and lots of deadfall
hiking Magnesia Peak - October 13 2024 A small peak above Magnesia Meadows along the Howe Sound Crest Trail, this isn't really worth going for by itself, but when you're nearby, you may as well tack it on (if you're a die-hard peakbagger, anyways). Bit bushy for the average hiker
hiking Brunswick Mountain - October 13 2024 A long but technically simple hike to the highest peak in the Howe Sound Crest Trail area, Brunswick Mountain is a decent objective for a budding hiker, or for more efficiency-minded peakbaggers, a great peak to combine with others to maximize the long approach.
scrambling Mount Hanover - October 13 2024 The second-highest peak behind Brunswick in the Howe Sound Crest area, this makes for a pretty involved scramble, though the long approach may deter some. I recommend combining it with some others along the crest for added value!
hiking Frosty Mountain (East Summit) - October 6 2024 The easier, lower, and more popular of the twin summits of Frosty Mountain. This is a lengthy but easy hike on a good trail for 98% of the distance, with great views, notable for golden larches in the fall
hiking Windy Joe Mountain - October 6 2024 An easy hike along an old lookout road, which is an accessible (and bikeable) peak by itself. Combining it with the nearby Frosty Mountain is a common value combo for peakbaggers
scrambling Snowshoe Peak - September 28 2024 A somewhat out-of-the-way peak in NW Montana that makes for a great scramble. Being an ultra means it has excellent views, and the remote location makes for a more rugged ascent than many other American ultras
hiking Camelshoof Peak - September 15 2024 A short+steep hike up to a decently prominent peak looking over Lillooet and the Fountain Valley, with some fun driving to get there too!
trashbagging Iron Mountain - September 14 2024 One of a few little hills in Maple Ridge that make for a good trashbagging adventure on a rainy day. It seems the SE side of the mountain hosts some biking trails as well
trashbagging Silver Hill - September 14 2024 A small neighbourhood "peak" in western Mission, perfect for some rainy day trashbagging
hiking Mount Outram - September 8 2024 A long but easy hike at the west end of Manning Park, just outside of Hope. Great views and a bite-sized scramble at the top for the (probable) true summit
mountaineering Mount Cline (and Mount Owen) - September 1 2024 A nice, day-trippable 11000er with a fun crux. Long slog, though. Mount Owen is a bonus peak, though honestly I'd not recommend it due to the difficulty of the downclimb, which far exceeds the crux of Cline itself
climbing Tunnel Mountain via Gooseberry (7p 5.8) - August 29 2024 A fun multi-pitch (claimed trad but so well bolted you could get away without any gear placements) to get an otherwise gimme mountain a more interesting way
hiking Twelve Mile Creek Peak - August 28 2024 A super pleasant hike close to Golden with good views, an easy trail, and a short+simple scramble for the true summit. Seemingly popular with mountain bikers as well
scrambling Mount Harrison - August 25 2024 One of the easier 11000ers in the Canadian Rockies, Mount Harrison is a good objective to those warming up to this list. Though, the lengthy drive could be considered a form of difficulty 😅
hiking Conical Hill/Duncan's Hat - August 10 2024 A short+sweet hike to a sub-p100 "peak" on Bowen Island. It's got a nice view of Grafton Lake, at least
hiking Apodaca Peak - August 10 2024 A bushwhacky peak on Bowen Island with 0 views. Only those completing the Bagger Challenge, or otherwise infected with the peakbagging bug should bother with this miserable summit
hiking Mount Gardner - August 10 2024 The high point of Bowen Island, this makes for a quick trip on a nice trail. The north summit is where the views are, but the south is higher. Both are worth visiting.
hiking Yellow Aster Butte - August 5 2024 A straightforward hike with an excellent trail to the top, and to campsites nearby. Best combined with Tomyhoi Peak for a productive day out
hiking Tomyhoi Peak - August 5 2024 A fun, if somewhat overblown (with respect to difficulty) scramble with a very well-maintained approach, good camping, and not-too-shabby prominence either
hiking Newcastle Ridge - August 3 2024 A more obscure but prominent peak north of Sayward, BC. The small bushwhack is well worth it for great views and a gorgeous alpine filled with tarns and rolling hills
