Island Rambling Part 2: Arrowsmith West Ridge

I signed up for a "double-header" ACC-trip on Sunday to head to the West Ridge on Mount Arrowsmith, then down the Nose. Rory had also signed up for both trips, so we car-camped near Cameron Lake to get an early start the second day.

Looking back across Port Alberni and Sproat Lake. Mount Klitsa, where we had gone the day before, is the snowy peak in left-centre.

In contrast to the snow climb on Klitsa, this trip was a pleasant scramble on rock.


At times the route seemed improbable, but was pretty mellow

We had a little bit of snow.
