[MCR] Sky Pilot and Habrich - Coast Mts

Got to climb Mt Habrich on the 31st of May via the south face. There is still quite a bit of snow, starting 2/3s of the way up, on the approach covering the “Trail”. It takes about 40 minuets now to the start of the climbers trail from the top of the new Sea to Sky Gondola. The route itself was in good condition, didn’t encounter any wetness.  The first few moves are also covered in snow still.  Jeremy Firmer’s new route worked nicely as the rappel off the mountain with one 60m rope.   http://www.jeremyfrimer.com/uploads/2/1/2/7/21278832/escape_velocity_topo.pdf 

From looking over at Sky Pilot from Mt Habrich, Sky Pilot is still well covered with snow and has a track leading to the West Ridge. Looked to be 10 or 15 people on the Sky Pilot.  Snow travel was boot top at worst. 

Fun day out.
