A harder hike to the top of Estekwalan Mountain then a more challenging descent on loose, steep slopes

• meet at 8:30 at Valleyview Arena (See the Meet Up Spots page for more info) to convoy or carpool
• drive to Westwold, then up the mountain road to the trailhead (high clearance)
• since we are not organizing carpooling, you need to be able to drive up the road or to arrange your own ride
• hike to the upper rim of the mountain (steep with some minor scrambling)
• traverse over the mountain to the south end
• a lunch break along the way
• descend down the south steep slopes; there are some fixed ropes to assist, (but it is not downclimbing; its just steep and loose)
• finish the loop with a double track walk back to the vehicles
• article on Estewalan Mountain
• the route is not obvious so stay with the leader
• good boots and poles are recommended
• it will be a small group hike because of social distancing, difficulty of the route,  and road access
• contact me by email or message me (link) if you have questions

Note – I will be recording some video footage and doing a short drone flight at the top.
