**Trip Details:**

5040 ladies overnight at the hut

The hike up to the cabin is steep, with lots of roots and some areas you need to use your hands. If you are an avid hiker it's fairly easy, if you rarely hike I'd consider it challenging (physically, not technically). That being said we can go at a slow pace and make sure everyone makes it to the cabin. After the cabin it will depend on conditions (if there is snow or not) if it's possible to get to the summit.

**Cabin** \- The cabin has mattresses\, cutlery\, plates\, a stove with propane\, wood pellet fireplace\, electricity\. You'll need to bring your own sleeping bag\, food\, and appropriate clothing \- there may be rain/snow\.

**Vehicles** \- We don't know what the snow level $if any$ is going to be like\. If the snow level is down at the road\, I have one 4x4 with chains that can fit 5 people if needed but we may need 1 or 2 more vehicles\. If there is no snow at the road it looks like any AWD can make it\.

**Equipment** \- snowshoes\, ice axe and crampons are all available to borrow from the club if needed\.

**Payment** \- the hut is $25 per person for night\. Your place will be confirmed after receipt of payment\.

**Refunds** \- No refunds\. The hut does not do refunds if we are unable to make it due to conditions\, etc\. We could possibly work out a refund if someone cancels and there is someone else willing to go and has paid
[Estimated automotive expense rate](http://islandmountainramblers.com/driver-compensation/) calculated from Nanaimo: up to 2 passengers $45.60 (each), 3 passengers $32.07 (each). These are the estimated rates for a larger vehicle, the actual rate may vary. Drivers of more efficient vehicles should ask for less.
