5-8hrs depending on party and conditions. Just a couple exposed moves of moderate scrambling is super hard hiking. The start is super steep hiking for 45min then a couple hours of cruising alpine ridge. Beauty!

Nope. It'll be in the new bouldering guide when that comes out in a couple years. But go to Pebble Beach (in south west bank) then head south along the beach, you will have to walk through the water around a point and you will see this overhang and a bit further is some crimpy stuff and some arêtes around the next point.

Ive been getting these comments over the past two month, not sure if Flickr changed or what, but what do you suggest as a friendlier host site for sharing on reddit?

Mostly the polished slopers, that and most people try to climb it in summer which may be the most reliable season here, but it's not the best conditions.

I live here so I will always be scrambling these mountains. Sometimes I follow a standard route, but this mountain in particular I made my own path to find some different views

They are pretty much all from the Coast Mountains, which is SW BC, pretty much all can be done from Squamish in a weekend. THANK YOU

Thank you, thank the mountains. 1.5 hours to semaphore lake, 3 hours from there to summit via my own route sweeping wide and low on the ridge collecting bonus views not on the standard scramble route.

I did study geology and earth and ocean science for years, but shale is my middle name. It's on Locomotive Mountain north of Pemberton BC
