Name: Saturday Tropical Pace Hike to Grouse via BCMC/F&F/Larsen
Start: 2024-11-16T09:45:00-08:00
End: 2024-11-16T13:00:00-08:00

I'll be waiting INSIDE the Starbucks. Mostly we'll hike BCMC. This hike is safe but not easy, so it is not a group event. You hike at your own pace with others who are as fast as you are. If I decide to hike F&F or Larsen, I'll post it in comments in advance. Depending on group/weather/my whim we can go up using any of the trails. For F&F trail you have to wear shoes with good traction, and be willing to climb some rocks with mild exposure. Trail is rather steep. For F&F we need to hike together (4hrs at my pace). The pace will be slow moderate, but not extremely slow. Please bring 10 essentials and in winter microspikes/crampons (https://www.outdoorvancouver.ca/resources/general-safety-the-ten-essentials/#ten). We'll leave at 10:00 am sharp. I might cancel this hike 24 hours before the start time, if I have better plans for the day.
