Yexyexéscen (Mt. Robson) Kain Face Solo

Kain Face Via the Patterson Spur, July 14-15, 2018

*Do not attempt glacier travel unroped (or climb solo for that matter) unless you are 100% sure of your ability, the conditions, and you fully understand the consequences of what you're getting into.*

I had extremely fortunate travel conditions, took my time probing every step when on glacier, and was completely comfortable with all the terrain I encountered going both up, and down, the mountain. That said, there are many smaller, less committing objectives I've happily walked away from (with or without partners) when things were less than I was fully comfortable with. I do not endorse soloing or taking any unnecessary risks in the mountains, your choices are your own.

One of the highlights of the whole trip was coasting down from Kinney Lake to the parking lot on my bike. So much more enjoyable than death-marching these 4-5km on foot after all that this mountain entails!
