  • The Cariboo and Monashee Ranges of British Columbia: an Alpinist’S Guide
    1 THE CARIBOO AND MONASHEE RANGES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ALPINIST’S GUIDE by EARLE R. WHIPPLE Even today, British Columbia is still a wilderness of mountains, valleys, glaciers, forest and plateau. The Columbia Mountains (Interior Ranges; which include the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges) lie within British Columbia, west of the Canadian Rockies and the southern Alberta-British Columbia border. This guide describes the access and mountaineering in these two ranges. Aside from parts of the Coast Range and the northern Rockies, the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges are the most isolated in B.C. However, if one listens to the helicopters from the lodges in these ranges, when camped there, one may question this. Large, active glaciers (now in retreat) with spectacular icefalls exist in the mountains of the western part of the Halvorson Group, the northern Wells Gray Group, the Premier Ranges, the Dominion Group and northern Scrip Range; there is climbing on rock, snow and ice, and routes for those climbers wishing easy, relaxing climbing in beautiful scenery. Good rock climbing on gneiss is in the southern Gold Range and Mt. Begbie in the north. There are also locales offering fine hiking on trails or alpine meadows (Halvorson Group, southern Wells Gray Group, southern Scrip Range, and the Shuswap Group), and backpacking traverses have been worked out through the Halvorson and Dominion Groups, the Scrip Range and the Gold Range. Beautiful lake districts exist in the northern Cariboos, and the Monashees. The area covered by this book starts northwest of the town of McBride, on Highway 16, southeast of Prince George, and extends south to near the border with the U.S.A., staying within the great bend of the Fraser River, and then west of Canoe Reach (lake; formerly Canoe River) and just west of the lower Columbia River south of its great bend.

  • Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal
    Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal VULUMC AAV lyOil ISSN 0524-5613 Tfo Umveuihj of fy&Uk Columbia Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT STUDLY'S MESSAGE This year I've come across many names of old members of the past sixty years whose exploits in the mountains and elsewhere are well known. This is indicative of the vast history of the club, a history reflected in all aspects of club life, from the traditional trips to the Salty Dog Rag. This is the twenty-fifth year that the club has chosen to put down a part of that history in print and this issue should serve as a reminder to all members of the wealth of experiences inherent in the club. The journal however, as a permanent record of the club, is worthy of far more attention than it receives. This may be due partly to the character­ istic low profile that it has had with respect to both design and circulation. I hope therefore that the efforts and results of this year's journal committee set a standard to be repeated every year and not just every twenty- f i ve. This year, with almost three hundred members in the club, there has been a growth in popularity in the regular events as well as several exciting new projects. The rock school was a great success, with just under a hundred participants and much snow and ice expertise was passed on in three glacier schools. The highlights of the year though, were two slightly more tangible out­ lets of expertise and enthusiasm.

The public support for this project has been overwhelming and we are privileged to work on a project of this nature. We have been studying the Premier Range since the 1990s and due to climate, elevations, glaciers, snowfall and snow quality we believe it is one of the most suitable locations for a sightseeing and ski resort in North America. Our experience in ski area planning and master planning dates back to the 1970s, when our company group was founded. Our approach and design philosophy is simple: always seek a better idea and a better solution for each unique project. We allow the natural environment to shape our decisions, rather than shaping the environment to fit. For projects to be truly successful, they must offer a lasting vision that stands the test of time – even when faced with changing markets, trends, technology, and demographics.
