Height gain: 410m/1345'
Ascent date: Sep 7, 2005
Ascent time: 3:00hrs From Hidden Lake sk5
Comment: Easy scramble
Day 1. After arriving
at the Hidden Lake Campground (sk5),
we immediately unpacked, set-up our camp then, planned the scramble.
We started with a traverse to Anthozoan Mountain,
then another traverse to Brachiopod
Mountain. The approach was a little bit long from sk5 but
the scenery along the way was awesome. Our roundtrip camp to
camp time took 6:30 hours.
(1) We hiked to Ptarmigan Lake then gained the right shore towards
Heather Ridge (right of photo).
(2) This is Brachiopod Mountain. We passed and snubbed it
for the time being and went straight to the col between Bachiopod
and Anthozoan.
(1) We gained the north ridge of Anthozoan Mountain and had
a first glimpse of the spectacular view.
(2) Here's Ian strolling to the summit at ease.
(1)
3:00hrs from sk5. It was just an easy hike from the col to the
summit.
(2) After a brief stay at the summit, we traversed back down
to the col to bag Brachiopod
Mountain (summit at right of photo).
