Location

Halfway up Estekwalan Mountain, near Falkland.

Participants

Plans

I had been here in the winter and failed after much effort due to snow. This would be my opportunity to verify last year's claim that in the summer I could simply drive all the way, then hike the short distance to the coordinates.

I rarely hash on workdays, but thanks to some encouragement from Robyn, and the fact that I already knew this area, I decided to race the sun for the coordinates.

Expedition

It involved more sweat and mosquito bites than planned, but otherwise successful.
