Thomas Peak - September 3 2022

North Vancouver Area, Lion's Bay, BC
1540m

This is the fifth summit of my modified Howe Sound Crest Trail (HSCT) attempt, and this report picks up after West Lion. This one is quite brief. We downclimbed West Lion, which was pretty simple/easy, for about fifteen minutes. We then followed the HSCT for another fifteen or so, back to hiking (no real scrambling here, just a short descent and some hiking uphill) to the top of this bump. I'm not sure what makes this particular bump get a name when others do not, but it shows up on all my maps, so it meets the arbitrary goalpost of getting a post.

With this bump out of the way, we set off to the much more interesting East Lion.
