"Despite the smoke from nearby wildfires, we seemed to be above the worst of it. We enjoyed blue skies for most of the weekend. Did the approach on Thursday afternoon, climbed Friday, and returned to the car Saturday morning. Bivvied at the toe of the glacier. Crossing the glacier was straight forward as most of the crevasses are exposed now. Finding the right spot to drop into the moat took some trial and error, but we found it without difficulty. The ledge was a lot of fun. It's well protected and the second station is further than we anticipated. The ridge scramble was just fun. It's well marked with cairns. Exposed sections are on good rock. The summit was enjoyable, but we will have to come back for better views when there are no fires. We rappelled at the first station while descending the ledge (the last on ascent). This included a fun hanging rappel for maybe 20m. To avoid rapping into the moat, we pushed off the wall and dropped onto the top of the snow slope." — ivo • Jul 23, 2021

"Objective Mount Begbie 2725m Finally the opportunity to climb this classic mountain. The hike to the campsite is a steep 6km hike but well worth the grunt. Once at the campsite you can relax and suck up the spectacular views. At the time of our climb we had excellent glacier travel and sunny weather. Once the transition (moat) from the glacier to the the rock ledge the rope came out and one by one we carefully walked across the rock ledge. Once we reached the rocky ridge we climbed the huge rock blocks up to the Summit. On the descent we rappelled from the ledge to the glacier this was exciting :-) I was one happy girl to finally climb this beautiful mountain that I had stared at for so many years. Packed up and hiked down the steep trail back to the vehicles. " — karlakuharic • Sep 3, 2011
