Description: Come join us for an ascent of Mount Arrowsmith, via the West Ridge, a “Top 40” route in Island Alpine Select! We will start on the Arrowsmith Climber’s Trail, route find through a small section of open forest to the toe of the west ridge then a scramble up excellent rock, interspersed with bushy sections followed by a traverse over to the Judge’s Route about 100m below the main summit. We will descend by rappelling the Nose, which has two bolted rappel stations, followed by a snow descent down the North Cirque to connect again with the Climber’s Trail. It is estimated this trip will take about 10 hours from car to car.
