Looks like this is the time of year to do the Castlecrag Circuit!
Strathcona Wilderness Institute has partnered with Island Alpine Guides to offer the Castlecrag Circuit with an expert mountaineer guide, for three days & two nights, from 4-6 September.
From a base camp at Circlet Lake the group will do a day long circle hike reaching the summits of Mount Albert Edward, Mount Frink and Castlecrag to return to base camp and walk out on the third day.
Island Alpine Guides are certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides and are members of the Canadian Avalanche Association. $375/person : Price includes guiding only. Transport, equipment and food logistics are organised between the guide and participants. (optional catering for $40/person/day). Please contact Island Alpine Guides directly for details at 250 400 2870 or by email . FMI visit the Island Alpine Guides web site.
There might still be space on this trip so register ASAP.
A posting on Club Tread describes a recent trip on the Castlecrag Circuit: base camping at Kwai Lake, then Castlecrag, Mt. Frink, & Mt. Albert Edward as a day trip.
If you do camp at Kwai Lake, remember there is no swimming allowed in the lake, as it is quite small & used as a water source by campers.
The Comox District Mountaineering Club is planning to do the Castlecrag Circuit starting tomorrow. This trip would be for CDMC members - I will post a link to their trip report after the weekend.
