If you are sledding all the way to Athelstan you may as well go the extra few kms to this cave with the waterfall.


Right across from the pumice mine on the north side of the Lillooet, or somewhere between there aand right across from Affliction Creek anyways.

It is in a slidepath but what the hell. This could be the next Cineplex. Start in the way back of the cave (sheltered from avvies) and drytool out to the ice pillar at the lip. Right?

I heard all the alpine tigers either went to Helmcken or are on the skin-shred-skin-shred treadmill right now.

Yes, I also want to hear about who got kicked in the Bute. Nice to see your follicle compromised head on the rock GF on the Squamish thread.

This is any easy one. Free beer at the Brew pub to the first one who gets it.

Clues. It's in the coast range if you forget about man made borders. It's also number 20.

Tami wins the beer but could you pour it over Ryan for making fun of our super lightweight hockey bags. Ha Ha.

There is definitely something wrong with Drew's peak.

That really shows how much fun it is to take the packs off, yes? With a sea of fun in the BC background, too. Thanks for the high stoke, Greg.

This looks like Tsaydaychz, all right, your photo taken from roughly the east. Our 1978 route was either up the left skyline or, more likely, just in front. The peak has not had a 2nd ascent, afaik.


In the 1980s, Beckey went to do the into do the conspicuous snow/ice line on the NE face, but found it too avalanchy (or maybe there's an ice bulge near the top) and instad did something off to the right of the photo. The face looks good to me if conditions are good.

The NNW ridge (right skyline) also looks very attractive to me; the upper part (just a hint of sun on it in the photo is a steepish, exposed snow ridge that reminds me of the N arete of Wedge in Garibaldi Park.

Access to this remote area north of Bella Coola is nasty, unless you fly in as we did in 1978 and as Fred did.
