Upper Canyon Creek Ridge Traverse Scramble (Moderate/Class 3/SC6)

Details

The plan to is to head out to gain the ridge along the Upper Canyon Creek, near Mount Bryant. We will work on going as far as we can safely go, reaching at least up to peak 4. From there, we will work our way down towards our starting point and out to our vehicles.
The scrambling up to this point would be in the easy to moderate level (class 2 & 3). Going beyond peak 4 is on the realm of class 4 scrambling (difficult)

Trip linear distance: +-15KM
Vertical distance gained: +- 1200M
