  • Princess Louisa Inlet Wall, Journey to the Center of the Earth
    AAC Publications Princess Louisa Inlet Wall, Journey to the Center of the Earth Canada, British Columbia, Coast Mountains, Princess Louisa Inlet The Princess Louisa Inlet Wall, rising about 1,400 meters at the head of a fjord off Jervis Inlet. (1) PLI Trail (17 pitches, ED1/2 V 5.10+, Brodie-Rowat, 2002). (2) Journey to the Center of the Earth (25 pitches, VI 5.10+ C2, Besen-Heinrich, 2019). Neither party reached the summit, which may be unclimbed. Photo by Noah Besen Inspired by a story in the 2018 AAJ, which heralded unclimbed walls along the BC coast, I had been curing my winter blues with virtual flights through Google Earth. On the last day of 2018, I stumbled onto a low-res photo of a hulking mass of swamp and stone geotagged to Princess Louisa Inlet. Research revealed this wall to be 1,400m tall, with only one known route: PLI Trail (17 pitches, ED1/2 V 5.10+), established by John Brodie and Peter Rowat over the course of nearly two decades, and ending on a prominent pinncalce about halfway up the wall. Interest hastily morphed into a foolhardy obsession for me and Noah Besen, my partner for this project. Eight months later, in August 2019, we stood beneath that wall with our necks craning to see the granite dissolve into roiling cloud far above. With only a few Yosemite trade walls between us and not a single first ascent, we had gotten so caught up in scheming and dreaming that we neglected reality until we were starkly in it.

  • Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
    MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'.

Access is by float plane from Vancouver or Sechelt, or by boat from Egmont or Pender Harbour on the Sechelt Peninsula. The Malibu Gold Property comprises one MTO mineral claim containing 8 cell claim units totaling 165.685 hectares. 2. The Upper Jervis Inlet area is underlain by a variety of Jurassic to Tertiary granitic intrusives of the Coast Plutonic Complex. The granitic rocks intrude and metamorphose Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous argillaceous sediments and andesitic to felsic volcanics of the Gambier Group.

  • Bute Inlet Backgrounder
    BACKGROUNDER Watershed Watch Salmon Society February 5, 2009 THE BUTE INLET HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT 1 Q: Where will the proposed project take place? A: Bute Inlet is located on the south coast of British Columbia just north of Campbell River – about 250 km northwest of Vancouver. Q: What is planned for Bute Inlet by Plutonic Power? A: Plutonic Power, in partnership with Connecticut-based General Electric, wants to dam and divert 17 rivers that drain into Bute Inlet; more than a single project, the proposed development will see three distinct “clusters” of hydro projects, generating a total capacity of 1027 megawatts (MW). This network of many river diversions is being considered as a single project in the Province-led regulatory approvals process. Q: What makes this project unique compared to other proposed run-of-river projects? A: Plutonic’s Bute Inlet project is unprecedented in British Columbia in terms of sheer physical size, generating capacity, and environmental footprint: •The 1027 MW peak generating capacity of this single proposed development is greater than that of the massive Site C project planned for the Peace River – the difference being that Plutonic’s project would be less efficient and produce less energy than Site C, despite its colossal environmental footprint. •The project as proposed would require 443 km of new transmission line, 267 km of permanent roads, and 142 bridges, to be built in wilderness areas. Q: What is the regulatory process for approving the project? A: The Province of BC ultimately approves run-of-river projects. BC Hydro is responsible for issuing electricity purchase agreements which guarantee the public will buy the power generated by the project.
