Dates: June 11 – 15 (Weather dependent)
Details: We plan to proceed up to Comox Glacier trailhead (via the Comox Lake gate) on the evening of Thursday June 11.
On Friday June 12th we would ascend the glacier trail making camp at or around the frog ponds as conditions allow. Saturday June 13th’s itinerary is summit attempts on Harmston, Argus and Red Pillar, as conditions, daylight, weather, and stamina allow. On Sunday June 14th we will return to the Comox Glacier trailhead via the same approach trail.
As an alternate/contingency plan we would visit Century Sam Lake and explore as much of the surrounding alpine cirque as is safe in the given conditions and the weather forecast.
