Today's destination for the "Sunday Hikers" group was Rossiter Ridge. Up the road from town about 15 minutes and then another 30 to 45 minutes up a steep logging road, the last bit little more than a very rocky, bumpy, steep cat track.... Then a sustained hike up to the ridge which many of us proceeded to climb.The views were, as usual, excellent in all directions. Close at hand was Mt Brennan, a climb for another day; we could also see Slocan Lake and Kootenay Lake, the Valhallas, Mt Loki, Jackson Basin which we were in just a few days ago.....
The final scramble to the summit was over somewhat exposed, somewhat loose, quite steep rock for a peek over into the next valley.
Some of the route down was over steep snow slopes which we were able to glissade just for some fun. Then the return down the rough track and back home for a well-earned soak and a chance to bring the liquid levels back to normal.
