At the trailhead.

Spring wildflower. I swear I did not see the spider!

3
Paula at the Gold Creek Lookout.
|
4
Paula goes up a steep creek bank.
| 
5
Fixed rope on a mildly exposed section.
| 
6
This bridge needs some attention...
|
7
Our lunch spot. We had already walked 6 km (in about two hours) but were still at the valley bottom.
| 
8
The summit of Golden Ears.
| 
9
Paula and the Ears.
|
10
Panorama from the trail just before it begins the steepest ascent. Our destination was the snowy ridge on the center-right.
| 
11
The view of the valley from the 8 km marker.
| 
12
This is as good as the views got, near the 9 km marker. Our destination was just 1 km away...
|
13
Zoom on mount Judge Howay.
| 
14
Mount Robbie Reid.
| 
15
Paula tackling a steep and snowy ascent. Robbie Reid in the background.
|
16
The first indication that going on was not a good idea. This traverse was quite hairy without snow equipment.
| 
17
Proof that we made it to the other side. However, shortly after this, we were stopped by an almost vertical snow slope.
| 
18
We grabbed a bite, enjoyed what views we could, and then turned around. Like McArthur, we'll be back!
