Mount Tricouni Alpine Climb

The north ridge of Mount Tricouni is a truly classic West Coast alpine climb: amazing views, great rock, interesting climbing and it's all doable in a day from Squamish! One of the top-ten alpine climbs in the Sea-to-Sky, it's a must do!

The route is approached via a 4x4 forestry road followed by about 2 hours of hiking. The first hour takes you up into the alpine and to the site of a absolutely beautiful lake. It takes another hour to wrap around the lake to a col on the east flank of Tricouni. From there it's a descent down a glacier on the north side to the start of the iconic North Ridge. From there a striking exposed rock ridge with difficulties up to 5.4 lead to an airy summit overlooking both the Squamish and Whistler Valleys. A scramble down the other side of the peak and you're back at the lake and the trail back to the truck.
