What people say

People like:
Challenging climbing, viewpoints and a quieter alternative to the Grouse Grind.
Worth knowing:
Steep, rocky scrambling and an unmarked route require care.
Great alternative to the BCMC and Grouse Grind. A very safe difficult trail with the right common sense.
Google reviewer
the hike is quite challenging for those who have never done them before. It took me two hours at a slow pace, and my friend an hour and a half at an average pace. A stair master in nature. I advise everyone to try it! 10/10
