After a gentle climb through rainforest the trail crosses Asulkan Brook, and then turns left for the climb up a switchback trail. Hikers should be careful in determining if conditions are acceptable for getting to the crest. Be careful in choosing a route if attempted (2255m), as the ridge is actually an arête. Great views. 3.5 hrs is uphill, 2 hrs back. Trailhead is at Illecillewaet Campground.
