Started bright and early at 5pm from Furry Creek, because who doesn’t love climbing mountains on a time crunch? Cruised over Beth Peak and Capilano Mountain just in time to descend into the valley and straight into some top-tier nighttime bushwhacking. Nothing says "fun" like face-whipping branches and invisible footing.
Crawled my way to Drone Peak and called it a night. I bivied on the summit like a burrito with bad life choices.
Woke up feeling fresh (read: mildly broken) and tagged Eastcap, Daniels Peaks, and Appian Mountain. Then followed the ridge toward Vancouver via Capilano (again), Burwell, and Coliseum. By then, my legs were filing complaints.
When I hit the junction for The Needles and Lynn Peak, my soul quietly left my body. Took the lower trail instead and hobbled out like a survivor of an intense emotional experience.
