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
hiking Hkusam Mountain - August 3 2024 The lowest and easiest of the 4 ultras on Vancouver Island. This is a short and sweet objective with great views and great prominence for the stats nerds. Definitely worth a visit!
hiking Mount Brew - July 28 2024 A decently long hike up to a very prominent mountain looking over Lillooet and The Duffey. The trail is a bit primitive, and there's a little scrambling, but a wonderful ridge to a p1000 peak is definitely worth it
scrambling The Copilot - July 27 2024 A fun, slightly more challenging sub-peak of Sky Pilot in Squamish. Plus, if you're willing to haul some skis up, you can get some surprisingly late-season turns!
hiking Train Glacier Traverse - July 21 2024 A fun little traverse with quick alpine access and good scrambling in Pemberton above the popular Semaphore Lakes area, popular amongst hikers and campers
hiking Evans Peak - July 14 2024 A small and easily-accessed peak in Golden Ears Provincial Park, this is a digestible, though somewhat steep, hike for those not looking for a full-day outing. It can be combined with other mountains to get a longer outing, though.
hiking Beauty Peak - July 13 2024 A fairly short, slightly bushy side-trip along the Crown Mountain trail. Access is a bit of a grey area, and while the views are good, they're not unique, so this is only for the ardent peakbaggers out there
hiking Crown Mountain - July 13 2024 The high point of the Grouse Mountain group of mountains, Crown is deceptively difficult due to the ups/downs required to get there (especially if you don't take the gondola up). The standard route is fairly non-technical, but harder routes are also available
scrambling Canadian Border Peak - July 7 2024 A fun, challenging scramble on the northern of the two Border Peaks, which straddle the US-Canada border near Chilliwack, BC and Glacier, WA
hiking Church Mountain - July 6 2024 A short and sweet hike to a nice viewpoint, and a fun scramble to the true summit for the adventure-inclined, with lots of options to make things as challenging as desired
hiking Broken Top - July 1 2024 A fun scramble peak, though with a bit of a long approach. Doing it in spring on skis can make that approach fun instead of tedious, though we were a bit too late for that
hiking Lava Butte (Oregon) - June 30 2024 A small cinder cone south of Bend. It isn't particularly impressive, but it offers an easy summit for die-hard peakbaggers, and an accessible viewpoint for everyone else
hiking Sawchuk Peak - June 21 2024 A first internet ascent for me, otherwise a short (if you can drive all the way) and steep bushwhack+scramble with some pretty decent views
hiking Brohm Hill - June 20 2024 A small, forested, bushwhacky bump near Brohm Lake, not worth visiting unless you're a dedicated peakbagger in need of a quick+dirty p100
hiking South and Middle Needles (North Vancouver) - June 16 2024 2/3 of the needles (ran out of time), a classic ridge hike+scramble in North Vancouver, commonly chained with Lynn Peak in a long hike, or done as a bike+hike by approaching on the Seymour Valley Bike Trail
hiking Wild Horse Peak - June 2 2024 A small sub-peak on Wild Horse Ridge, which is the way up to Mount Kerr, the top of the Marble Range near Lillooet, BC. A nice tack-on peak to the day for the ardent peakbagger
hiking Mount Kerr - June 2 2024 A scenic p1000 peak at the top of the Marble Range and the so-named Provincial Park. Or so I hear, we went up on a rather stormy day. A nice, straightforward hike for those seeking a pleasant day out, or something to do on a less-pleasant one that isn't technical
hiking Bear Mountain - June 1 2024 A simple but long hike near Harrison Hot Springs with decent views along the way. Bikes would definitely be the best way to have fun here, though
hiking Mount Agassiz - June 1 2024 A p600 near Agassiz with no real trail, but some fun offroad driving on the way, and the hike is short and simple despite the lack of trail. Good for a rainy day IMO
hiking Sumas Mountain Peaks (Abbotsford) - May 25 2024 There are 6 peaks with 100m of prominence in the Sumas Mountain massif in Abbotsford, BC. Sumas Peak is the highest, but if you're going there, you may as well catch em all!
