The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Would book with them again.
British Columbia in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
Did this over 8 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. No hesitation recommending them.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Worth every rupee.

Did this over 8 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. No hesitation recommending them.
About ten degrees, year-round. Everyone surfs in a 5mm wetsuit with hood, boots and gloves, which is provided. It sounds worse than it is — once you are in, the suit works.
