Malcolm and I had tried to bag it a few years ago, but were weathered off.
So, with a good weather forecast, we loaded up the boat and headed up Kusawa to give it a whirl, but this time to do it in a day, so that we didn't have to hump heavy packs up the miserable approach.
 |
| Getting into the alpine. |
 |
| Following gully's make for the easiest way to access the plateau. |
 |
| Porsild makes its first appearance. |
 |
| We stayed right on the talus ridge, and thence to the summit via the snow fields. |
 |
| Thunderstorms and rain threatened all the way to the top. |
 |
| The sky cleared giving us some great views into the coast ranges. |
 |
| Someone put some work into the summit cairn. |
 |
| A fast and easy descent. |
 |
| Nice. |
 |
| Ski descent anyone? |
 |
| A very cool little north face on it. |
 |
| A last glimpse. 12 hours round trip with ~12000 feet of elevation gain and loss made it feel like a fairly full day. |
 |
| Loaded up and heading home. |
