	This is the sign up and organization page for an old trip. It already happened. Please do not sign up for it.

Synopsis

The goal is to scramble the to the peak of Ossa Mountain in the Tantalus Range, with an overnight stop along the way. The scramble is in Matt Gunn's Guidebook, rated as having "one difficult notch", with 2200m total elevation gain. Also, we don't have to miss Thanksgiving.

• Why is this Beginner Friendly? - I intend this trip for people who have some camping and hiking experience but are not as experienced in scrambling. It might be challenging. See the VOC definition of beginner friendly here.

Skills Required

You will be more comfortable if you have some backcountry camping experience and a reasonable level of fitness.

Trip Meeting

There will be a trip meeting on Wednesday, October 6th at 6 pm in the clubroom to sort out rides and tent groups. If you can't come to the meeting, let me know or make your own arrangements.

=Driving Directions

Please have the last person in your car at 6:30 am. Drive to Squamish. Turn left onto Squamish Valley Road (after the tourist centre) and set your odometer. Stay left at 3.7 km. At about 24 km, turn left onto the Ashlu Creek road (there will be a bridge right away and it's marked by signs for "Buck Mountain Campground"). Reset your odometer. At 0.7 km ignore the right fork. There's an unmarked road at 2.3 km on left, park on the main road just past it. We'll meet here.

Gear Required

Check out the gear lists on the wiki for a scrambling trip here: Gear lists

Along with regular gear, you should have a helmet and good hiking boots. No ice ax required!
