Joined CORA on meetup. First decent hike of the summer. The hike up the Yamnuska shoulder on both ascent and descent was a pain. No wonder it's not frequented often. The valley between Wendell and Yamnuska is very nice though. Some fun scrambling but the scree on the way up was tiring and rockfall was encountered. scree on the descent was fun however.
