HRP Day 7 stats

1264M Ascent and Descent

13.64 KM

Day 7 of my HRP traverse was a bit of a different one as I actually made no progress at all on my traverse of the Pyrenees. Instead I used La Source du Marmitou as a base camp and went around to tag some interesting summits around the Larra national reserve. The landscape around here was extremely karst and the sharp limestone sucks every ounce of humidity out of the surroundings deep into the ground. I began the day by retracing my steps 200 meters up from camp back up the trail I had hiked the evening before. I then picked a gulley on the steeper south side of Anelarra peak. The ascent started with some basic steep scree, but then I had to make a few scrambly moves to work my way around some vertical limestone sections. Luckily the route I picked went quite directly, because I had no beta or GPX track for it. From the top of the ridge I started making my way North East towards the South side of Pic d'Anie. There was still not really a trail at this point, and the terrain was full of small ups and downs, consistently dodging huge man eating crevasses in the sharp limestone. About 300M from the summit of Pic d'Anie I found a real trail and there were some painted markers indicating the way. It was all quite simple terrain from here to the summit, with a few switchbacks on scree terrain. I could have gone more directly, but at this point following the trail would just save time. I made it up to the peak quickly, and was all alone up there to enjoy the views. Unknowing of how long of a dayu this might end up being, I kept moving almost right away. I retraced my steps back down to the trail, and then descended the slightly scrambly bit using my GPX track from the morning. Once I made it to the signpost indicating Source de Marmitou, I took the sort of trail that went in direction of Mesa de los Tres Reyes

. Mesa de Los tres reyes is in spain and pic anie is in france. It is very frequent on this Route that I flip flop over the border multiple times a day.

Slide Mountain South Summit WA, Slide Mountain Failed WA

Slide Mountain South Summit - 2068M 68M Prominence 50.16995, -124.29306 Jan 18-19, 2025 It is slightly painful to write this report as I did not end up successfully completing the true goal. I usually would not have written a report on a failed objective, but the South summit of Slide is somewhat of a peak of its own, boasting at least 65M of prominence from the true summit. Therefore this mission still stood out as quite an epic adventure and experience on it's own. At 7:45 Tyler and I parked the truck after a two hour drive from town. The gravel road conditions were quite ok and completely snow free. We hopped out to a "trailhead" that is quite familiar by now. Last time I was out here was late last summer on a solo trip up Mount Baldy. We started by crossing the river, which was far less raging than at any other time of year, it proved a little tricky as all the rocks were glazed in a thin layer of ice. Once across the river we set out on the boring old road, which wa...

Triple Peak

Triple Peak (main summit) - 1557M 936M Prominence 49.15741, -125.30228 June 3, 2025 10H 50M C2C, 9H 20M Moving 1050M Elevation gain The main purpose of this weeks Island trip was to climb Triple peaks, Tyler and I had been planning this one for a few months now, and we expected it to be nearly fully melted off by this time of year. Unfortunately from the top of Steamboat Mountain 2 days prior, I could already tell that there was more snow than we were hoping for. We still went for it though, and are very glad we did. On the morning of the third we drove from Comox and arrived at the Triple peaks trailhead at 8:20. Bags pre-packed, we immediately got going. We had planned for an overnight stay at the lake to climb as many of the towers and routes as possible, so packs were quite heavy. We began the approach trail by balancing on a log to cross Effingham river. The approach trail was a bit more challenging than is to be expected for a trail, with definite class 3 scrambling in many secti...

Phillips Ridge, Golden Hinde

Golden Hinde, Phillips Ridge Sept 28-30, 2024 3340M Elevation Gain And Descent 59KM Total 50H 38M C2C Phillips Ridge - 1730M 310M Prominence 49.597057 -125.680688 Sept 28, 2024 Phillips Ridge is quite evidently just the high point on the ridge. It is marked as a summit on most maps though, as the ridge itself is quite prominent. There is really nothing to say about this point in the route, we took a few minutes and maybe a snack break and kept on our way. Golden Hinde - 2197M 2197M Prominence 49.662507 -125.747135 Sept 29, 2024 On the last weekend in September Tyler and I set out to climb the highest peak on Vancouver Island. We got off to a bit of a rough start by narrowly missing the second last ferry from Powell River on Friday night. We ended up having to catch the 8:45 and we ended up getting to the trailhead after midnight and not falling asleep until after 1AM. Because of this, we got a bit of a late start to the morning and we ended up hitting the trail around 8AM. Our rou...
