September 2011: Mount Robie Reid

Trip Report by Dean Perez

Thanks to Marek for providing a GPS waypoint and to Ben(DoubleE alpinist)for giving me coordinates of the trailhead.

We used Jeff's well detailed TR: http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=32012

The trail up to the tarn/bivy site is well flagged and easy to follow. It would be suck if anyone carrying an overnight gear as I find it steep.

Getting up to the saddle between East summit was quite intimidating but the rocks were really good to scramble. There were some few awkward moves including the short gully with the sling 

        
 

From the east summit, we followed the ridge.

It was nice to finish the day swimming at the lake after a scorching hot day.
