Island Rambling Part 4: King's Peak

Another weekend and more Island adventures. Headed up to Strathcona Park with a crew. We spent Saturday cragging at Crest Creek Crags. It was my first time there, and first time cragging for a while. Great place, and pretty well set up. We climbed a lot of fun routes.

We camped out near Gold River, and then made an early start up King's Peak. This time of year was great, as the snow made for a quick ascent.

In the gully

Avalanche debris from a cornice that collapsed the day before we were there. There was still a bit left on the ridge.
