Howe Sound to North Vancouver – June 17

 

Third time lucky, fourth time even better! It took 3 tries to get above the peaks along Howe Sound. This was the fourth time but with a much longer approach hike. Long and hot hike from Crystal Rd, over 3 hours and a much longer steep section! Great flying over Deeks peak, Brunswick, Harvey, close up to the West Lion and then over to Black Mt. Not much of a climb there (less than 200m) but enough for the long glide over the plateau to the landing at the Capilano River. Good thing several others were ahead so I was pretty sure the glide would work.
