What. A. Wild. Weekend. (Howe Sound Crest Trail)

What. A. Wild. Weekend.

I have a rule... once I have to tell the same storie(s) enough times it's easier to just put them on the internet... So here's a few from this weekends adventure - with each slide:

1 - this is mountain thor aka #thorgoesoutside, he's the newest evolution of thors to grace this ig. You may recognize prior editions like; fit thor aka the guy who loved #Crossfit a bit too much... bearded thor aka #thorpretendstobeabigdeal , and fat thor who still occasionally makes appearances.

2 - we hitup the How Sound crest trail for a night because the weatherman said the smoke and rain would clear up by midday. It's a pretty epic route!

3 - it never cleared up. Actually it got foggier and wetter. We covered over 17km and 1500m of elevation on day 1, summiting 7 mountains... and these things were straight up and down.

4 - we're very lucky we were prepared for the worst. Because we were hit with the worst... I highly do not recommend attempting this route in the wet or fog :S

5 - we had to call it a day one mountain short of our goal of the meadows because we wanted to setup camp before nightfall and the weather had us 2 hours behind schedule. The only glimpse of blue sky we got was for 20min in the am as we had breakfast. We crossed our fingers for some clear skies to make it worth finishing the next 16km.

6 - the fog rolled back in pretty shortly after so we said 🖕 this and took the bush whacking 12km trail out (there was a marked trail - just not very utilized)

7 - #spoileralert... we made it! And in the end it was one hellova fking adventure. I can't wait to hit that route with some sunshine and views next year.

8 - the basics. Sorted from most accessed on left to last access needed on right... Cept the sunscreen.
