We will head off towards Mt Harrison on Saturday morning. This should bring us to a campsite in mid-afternoon. We will set camp, have some food and get an early night of sleep.&nbsp;<br><br>Sunday morning, an early start (likely 4:30 am boots on trail) will get us moving. The objective is to do the SW face (#38 in snapshot from Jones book below), rated F - 3rd class (Jones) to PD (Corbett). Corbett mentions a roundtrip time of 8-10 hours,&nbsp; which likely means a late return to Calgary Sunday night

Basic light mountaineering kit: helmet, ice axe, poles, headlamp, light mountaineering boots, appropriate layers, food + water.
Camping gear for the overnight. I can bring a coleman stove and a jetboil. Personal plates, mug, utensils.

details will be provided to participants.

Wildfire
There is a nearby (~20 km at the closest) forest fire. (https://wildfiresituation.nrs.gov.bc.ca/incidents?fireYear=2024&incidentNumber=N21014&source=map) which while out of control, has not been growing in the last week I've been monitoring it.
