A great trip report on Club Tread from hikers who did the Augerpoint Traverse - the route from Mt. Albert Edward, past Ruth Masters Lake, down the Augerpoint Trail to Buttle Lake into the heart of Strathcona Park. I haven't done this entire trek myself, but earlier in the season a couple of hikers stopping in to the Wilderness Centre reported on coming the opposite way - they found the most difficult part was just west of the tarn campsite described in the Club Tread report.
Also interesting to read that the Club Tread hikers found Ruth Masters Lake to be one of the prettiest spots on the trip! Ruth Masters is a great lady and describes (with tongue in cheek) that the lake named after her is the 'beauty spot of Vancouver Island' . She also likes to note the comments of one of her adversaries, that the lake is appropriately named after her - being 'small & cold'! Ruth's biography can be found on the website of Lindsay Elms who wrote 'Beyond Nootka', the history of the Vancouver Island mountains.
