We awoke after sunrise on the 4th and final day of our traverse around the Lillooet Icefield. After a successful ascent of Mount Fulgora the day before, it was time to climb the last two summits on our agenda: Stanley Peak and Bridge Peak. At 2600m high and just 1.5km from the base of Stanley, we were practically a stones throw away.
Our approach involved packing up camp and then making a short walk over to the base. We ditched all of our gear and as per the norm I took a less steep route on skis while the snowshoe crew booted up the most direct line. We converged again on the ridge and it was an easy ascent to the top. From the top we could see Bridge Peak, which looked a bit tricky from our head on angle. All around there were great views, but it was hard to beat the scenery that had been visible from Fulgora the day prior.
After a brief pause on the summit, I skied down some tricky crust and wind affected snow and met everyone at the bottom. Now it was time for Bridge Peak.
