PD 4th Class
2,851m
Eloïse and Simon got their first alpine start this morning in order to get up Yuckness before catching our return bus after 4 fantastic days at Lake O’Hara. This is a super fun scramble with some very-real exposure that had at least one of the dad’s in our group questioning how he felt about having his son tied to him while he negotiated the trickier bits. Really, really good views of the Lake O’Hara area from the summit, despite pretty heavy smoke; a great way to cap off our trip.
The climbers trail to the West face departs (left) from the main trail shortly after climbing up above Opabin lake (3-5min from the lake). Though unsigned it is very clear. From there we easily followed the cairns up scree to the col between south and north summits, where we roped up for the summit push. On the way down we took the alternate, 3rd class scramble back to the col.
Participants: Pip, Aaron, Eloïse, Simon.
