Trailhead: Bay Mag Plant Parking Area


Getting There:

Head west on Highway 1A. Pass through Exshaw and look for a sign for Grotto Mountain Pond. About 400m past this is the Bay Mag Cement Plant parking area.

Additional Info:
Follow Bob Spirko's directions. Once parked at the Bay Mag Plant, head straight across the gravel bed and into the trees. It is quite a bushwhack but if you're lucky you'll come across some flags to follow. Once above the trees, aim for the first cliff band, then follow the base of it to your right. Once the first cliff band is bypassed, you will bypass the second cliff band on the left. Go up the scree field, then ridge-walk to the summit.
