What a fun day out! With my brother and my girl 😀
Saw a cool ridge traverse online for Couihalla Mtn so I wanted to check it out! Didn't disappoint, it was very fun! Dip in the alpine lake was excellent 👌

Trip report:
Hung out with my two nieces before we left as they just woke up when we picked up Eric, what fun :)

Really nice FSR drive up to the overgrown FSR. Added 3k-ish of whacking bushes. Beautiful meadow below Jim Kelly!

We did Coquihalla Mountain first, I split off from  Eric and Jas so I could do the ridge traverse. It was pretty well staying on the ridge the whole way. Probably mostly 3rd class with some 4th class moves here and there! Took way less time than I expected. Summited CM in about 1hr 15 min after splitting off. Eric and Jas got there a bit after and we enjoyed the summit to ourselves! We descended the way Eric and Jas came up (which is not very obvious, nor well marked - a gps like Gaia was helpful!).

Then, we toodled back to Jim Kelly. It was a pretty fun (but loosey crumbly rock) jaunt to the top. Not particularly difficult - easier than it looks from the base of it! Probably some class 2 sections here and there but mostly just a crumbly path to follow.

We couldn't resist a quick dip in the lake below Jim Kelly - spectacular! 

Had thought about adding Illala but didn't have enough time nor interest.

Wonderful day out!
