"Quite a long walk in from my uncles place, grouse grind was closed. Took the BCMC trail up, at the end of the trail i discoverd the access to the summit was blocked by building contractors so I had to turn back a few hundred meters short. :(" — Toastinski • May 9, 2023
"Went up with a friend for the day. Beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. Made it to the ridge in 2.5 hours. Left my friend there since he wasn’t comfortable going up the last part. Went up for a quick view at the summit, then back down to join my friend for lunch on the ridge. Great views as always on a sunny day. Back down to the car in 2 hours. " — PabloBruneau • Sep 4, 2020
"5 hours and 10 minutes
Overnight with 40 lb pack and brittney. No camp stove.
From parking lot left at 7:30 with lots of breathers on the way up. Hardest hike yet.
Got to emergency shelter at 12:40.
Only 3 tent pads left when arrived at top and soon filled up after. Cold at the top. Rained on our way up but cleared. Can be some nasty winds. A guy last night had his tent ripped apart to pieces and lost his fly. So emergency shelter it was. And there’s a bathroom on the emergency shelter. Running waterfall right here is beautiful. Pats cord to tie down tent to tent pad.
Hike down 4 hours " — kaylagrimard • Jul 29, 2020
"Arrived in thick fog and slight rain. The trail cleared up beautifully along they way but while we rested on the 2nd peak, the fog came rolling back in! Figured there would be no view if we continued and it was covered in snow up top. After we enjoyed out Viet Sub, we made our way back. It's my first time wearing my Patagonia hiking pants, light and saved me from bug bites. Love it." — tpow • Jul 12, 2020
"Started from Lions Bay and missed the turn off to Mount Harvey...added lots of extra distance headed to the Lions :( . When we did find the route, the climb was relentless! I didn't expect to see any view with the thick fog but it cleared up while the passing clouds made the top even more majestic. Lots of lovely wild flowers as I was being swarmed by black flies even hanging from the lid of my cap. At the top, we saw the ridge headed towards the summit, looked closer than it was but we made it. What an unforgettable hike." — tpow • Jul 21, 2019
