Had exactly three hours to jam in a quick run/ scramble Sunday. Well, where else would I go ?
  
Started out by looking to scramble some new offtrail lines up First Peak. I cannot call it "Pump", the name's just too lame 
1. The horn of Coquitlam Mtn, Robie Reid behind left, and I think Golden Ears to the right ?
2. Meslilloet at left, Five Fingers far right ( ? )
3. Same peaks as 2, but shows Bishop's East Ridge, one of my many curiosities
Once I did a couple of ups and downs on First Peak, I figured I'd find a new way up Second Peak. There were a lot of people around, and some of them seemed to think that was a little odd
     
1. This is a gully that heads down toward the Elsay Lake Trail I've been pondering for a while
2. A look back at First Peak and its "terraces"
3. BTW, I don't know anyone who has climbed these peaks, the access must be difficult
4. Nice tarn, Second Peak Summit area
5. Garibaldi to Mamquam in the distance, and part of the route up Third Peak I decide to try out at left
6. Elsay, Bishop, Meslilloet
Upon reaching the summit, I find quite a group of people hanging out, and took some summit pics for some of them. Remarkably clear day, it was 
    
1. Needles and Lynn Ridge, Crown in behind, Lions, Harvey and Brunswick behind to right
2. Last bit of scrambling, how would you tackle it ?
3. Sometimes you forget how big Cathedral really is !
4. Crown a little closer
5. Autumn colours
On the run back, coming down from Second Peak summit as I was coming through, was that you Greenhorn ? If not, I think I met your twin.( I said hello, then made a casual comment about the weather ) |

Nice pics, Mick. I rode my bike up to seymour parking lot on Monday(today), but was not there on Sunday. Some old guy rode his mountain bike from coquitlam and absolutely skunked me going up.
I took these pic at CBC parking lot for some reason. The parking guys are pretty strict. They expect you to drive around until you find a machine that works.

| That's a nice map, GH. The bike trails make for interesting hiking, if you can stay out of the way. The CBC Trail has some big cedars I've been meaning to check out |

I read this sign wrong(Seymour Rd.). I thought it said you need chains or 4by4 so I turned around. (Sunday Nov 12, 2006; 2:00PM)

It's a shocker, I know. AT and Spunky goin up Seymour on a sunny Sunday .
So this is where we've been:
   
 Warm sun, soft sand, free booze, all you can eat Cancun Mexico ...
While we were gone AT's mom took care of Gin & Pooh Bear so on Sunday we decided to spend some quality time with her and the dogs .. and to also burn off some of the evils we had accumulated over the course of our vacation 
The dogs obviously having loads of fun:
 
      
I don't know where we stopped but AT decided to keep going up this steep slope - made it to the top :
   
It was nice to be out again after a long hiatus - too long. Time to get back in them hills . |

That's the spirit, a drink in each hand maybe you should get one of these
Hey! what's with the jeans? I thought you were in Mexico
It's good to see you guys back out there, must be quite a shock going from sand to snow. |

| checked em out Dru and I prefer my way of enjoying them. Less "stress" on the trees. But it does look like fun, for those who like slamming axes into things. |

Seymour is the first BC mountain I ever climbed,and so has special meaning to me every time I'm here
I'm not sure I can make exactly the same claim but I can state with certainty that it was a hike on Seymour that led my parents to buy me my 1st pair of hiking boots. I was probably about 6 years old and we went for a hike in the snow. I was wearing $2 canvass, Japanese runners that were knock offs of Chuck Taylor Converses (this was way back when "made in Japan" meant really cheap and poor quality).
My feet got so wet and cold that my toes actually turned blue. I complained a lot. On seeing the state of my toes, my parents decided I wasn't so much a whiner as I was poorly equiped for the conditions. They bought me some real hiking boots after that and I never complained about my feet again (and there was planted the seed that grew into a lifetime belief that all outdoor problems can be solved through gear purchases). |
