Hello ladies!!

Join us for a Intro to Scramble Mt Yamnuska Chocolate Hike.

Straightforward scramble along the backside and back around for the loop. There is a chain section on the backside but nothing too challenging. At the summit we will celebrate with a Chocolate!

This is a moderate to difficult hike. Mostly a hike along the back of the mountain. An average level of fitness is required but our pace is moderate-slow. Please be realistic about your abilities. Please gauge your abilities appropriately.

For safety reasons there is a cap of a maximum of 12 hikers. It is a requirement to read the following trip posting very carefully and to make the proper and responsible preparations for it.

Failure to do so will result in a participant not being allowed on this trip. If the organizer deems it necessary to obtain additional information from you, please provide it, otherwise, you will remain on the waiting list.

As a potential participant, you must check this trip posting for additional directions from the organizer, including trip cancellation. Your hosts are volunteers and not trained guides.
