The route I will need to drive is the same used to get to the primary trailhead of Monashee Provincial Park (a park with no road access). The elevation stays under 900m (should be under the current snow line) and should be well-maintained.
The road happens to end exactly at the base of mountain I will need to climb, a trek of two and half kilometers and a rise of 800m with no trail.
