Habrich Ridge Loop Hike

 

Nice to use our gondola passes for a day in the Alpine. Our plan was to ascend Habrich ridge then make a loop connecting back to the road after traversing the ridge and descending on the climbers trail from Habrich Spur

Getting higher on Habrich ridge

Last time I was here I definitely did not remember this boardwalk...

Good view of Atwell

Massive boulders in the forest

Sky Pilot coming into view

And our route to Habrich poking out at the end there

Goat ridge

Some fixed ropes were handy. I never like these parts 

Almost slab walking 

Pretty wild route

Top notch way to cool off

So is this

Exposure on this one section

Another party of 3 scrambling down from the summit. No thanks

The climbers descent trail was in great shape and an efficient way to get down to the road. Oh man walking it downhill at the end of the day was rough considering how nice skiing it out is...

A great loop overall. I would be keen to do it again in reverse

It was HOT and the post hike swim in Porteau Cove is in order
