This one didn't look very doable the first time I looked at it. When I looked at it a little closer on Friday evening, though, it seemed like a "maybe," and by Saturday morning I was upgrading it to a "probably." In the event, it was perfectly accessible.
The only challenge was parking, which was ironic as there were half a dozen sprawling parking lots for various offices and light industrial operations around, all but empty on a Saturday, but they were also gated or carded or being more or less checked out by a guy chilling in a security company car nearby.
So, I found a gravel patch a few blocks away, and then literally walked right down a concrete path to within 15 feet of the hashpoint, which was at the bottom of a little slope at the edge of a large area that has been cleared for some humongous construction project. I positioned myself atop it, savored the moment, and that was that!
Photos
The people of Vancouver kindly laid a trail directly to the hashpoint.
It's just beyond the stripe of green grass at the bottom of this photo, at the bottom of a slope.
Looking west: "The Quarry Senior Living"
This was a hashcot-certified expedition.
This was a phone-certified expedition.
