Up the West Ridge of Mount Rexford [last] weekend. Chilliwack South FSR has been recently excavated due to current logging and is in excellent condition well past the Slesse trail head. This was just done on the 25th, so we were pleasantly surprised on the morning of the 26th. Even saw a 2WD parked at the Slesse trail head.

Slesse pocket glacier looked in rough shape and not very user friendly. Trail up west side is in great shape but the first 150m in the old logging slash could use a little love!

Found running water (snow melt) just down from the ridge bivy, gotta love free water in the hills! Snow was used to gain the West ridge (no crampons or ice axe were used), otherwise the ridge was snow free. We experienced everything from sun to hail on Sun the 27th.

play hard and safe
