The plan is to scramble Mount Roberta near the Highwood Pass.  It's a short and enjoyable Class 2-3 (easy/moderate) scramble with great views. You would be a good participant for this trip if you have reasonable fitness and you're comfortable with moderate scrambles in off-trail terrain. Registration is first-come first-serve.

Distance: 6 km return, Elevation Gain: 650 m

Carpool meetup is at 6:00 AM in Valley Ridge - maps.app.goo.gl

We will aim to move at a moderate pace to complete the scramble in 4 hours return, with the goal of being back in the city by about 1:00 PM.
