Coquihalla Summit
Another visit to Needle, following our July trip. This one was envisioned as an overnighter but the logistics of getting ourselves up there after school on Friday, combined with so-so weather that precluded the stargazing we were hoping for, held most of us back until Saturday morning. Most, but not all. In a last minute show of bold determination, Aaron got himself organized and had himself, Simon and Linnaea at the trailhead at dusk, and up onto the ridge to camp. The rest of us came up in the morning. September in the mountains: it doesn't get any better.
This was the inaugural Scramblegs Peak for Linnaea (7yrs), Rosie (8), Leo (6) and Sparrow (5). Hat tip to Luca (2), who came up in a backpack.
Participants: Luca, Sparrow, Oliver, Leo, Rosie, Linnaea, Eloïse, Simon, Lisa, Sara, Jos, Pip, Aaron and Andrew.
