The Mount Tricouni North Ridge is one of the quickest and best alpine rock routes the Coast Mountains offers. This classic coastal mountaineering objective is a striking exposed rock ridge with difficulties up to 5.4, leading to an air summit overlooking both the Squamish and Whistler Valleys. The trip starts with a 4x4 journey almost right into the alpine, followed by a 1 to 2-hour alpine meadow approach. Finally, across the north glacier sees us on the ridge proper—an absolute must-do for anyone seeking a 1-day alpine trip.
Meet in either Whistler or Squamish, depending on where you are staying. We meet for a gear inspection before heading out to the trailhead on the west side of the 99 highway right between Squamish and Whistler BC. We will then spend the whole day in the alpine climbing and return in the afternoon. Typically we depart at 6 am and return around 4 pm.
