Monday looks like it will be great weather so I
am looking for one/two partners to climb
Mount
Joffre, one of the classic 11,000ers of the
Rockies in K-Country.
It has some snow and possible ice ascent for the
last 200 to
300 metres with a few pitches of about 40
degrees near the top.
You will need to be fit and able to carry a

bivy and glacier gear.
We will leaving the city Sunday afternoon, hike
in to the bivy site and start super early on
Monday to tag the summit and head back to the
parking lot the same day.

return. Please only think of signing up if you
have
the fitness and endurance to go at a steady to
fast pace with us, thank you.
