Using the picturesque Haberl Hut in the heart of the Tantalus Range as a base of operations this helicopter accessed alpine climbing and mountaineering adventure has it all: Granite spires, long ridges, beautiful glaciers, ocean views, cell service and a BBQ. The staging area is located just 45min from Vancouver in the beautiful town of Squamish, BC. Trips typically run from Friday to Sunday and include a couple of peaks and some amazing food. This allows you get in 2 days of alpine climbing and mountaineering while only missing a minimum of work! If you’re looking for an amazing alpine experience this summer you’ve found it!
The Area:
We will camp high in the alpine at the col between the mountain peaks of Dione & Serratus. Just northwest of Squamish, the area is accessed by helicopter making it easy to bring some good food and wine and leave the boil-in-a-bag meals at home. At 6,600′ (2,000m) above sea level the camping area is surrounded by glaciers and rock. Basically put on a harness and start the adventure at the tent.
