SUMMARY:Sarrail Ridge
DESCRIPTION:Slow and Steady Hikers\n*****Group spread has become a big concern for me\, and in order to combat it\, my attendance limit going forward will be a max group of ten (or less)\, including me. I’m hopeful to reach people in recognizing how dangerous a practice this has become. If you have not been directly involved in an event where someone gets separated from the group\, causing a major delay\, you have definitely heard stories of it happening. Someone lost is the least of the concerns\, which still has the potential to tax our overloaded SAR guys. It’s just a matter of time before someone gets injured or\, worse\, loses their life\, which has already happened to our beloved friend\, Trina. If racing to the summit and back is the most important thing for you\, please find an appropriate group to do that with\, or organize trips yourself with capable\, like-minded people. And please stay together as one group when you do.***** \nIf being in our majestic mountains\, soaking up all the beauty nature has to offer us\, creating great memories with awesome\, like minded people sounds good to you\, please sign up and share your energy to getting the most out of our precious remaining life seconds!!! \n****It is a requirement to read the following trip posting very carefully and to make the proper and responsible preparations for it. Failure to do so will result in the participant not being allowed on this trip. A waitlist has automatically been created to determine your suitability as a potential participant for this trip. You must meet all the prerequisites to be eligible to attend this event. If the organizer deems it necessary to obtain additional information from you\, please provide it. Otherwise\, you will remain on the waitlist. As a potential participant\, you must check this trip posting for additional directions from the organizer\, including up to trip cancellation.**** \nSarrail Ridge \nLooks like conditions Saturday are going to be quite spectacular for a trip to Sarrail Ridge. Having been out of the hiking scene for most of 2026 this is the perfect place and time for some serious soul fertilizing that I am personally desperate for. I am not hiking fit and this will be a relaxed pace trip\, with the intent of spending a ‘considerable amount of time’ on the ridge soaking in the view once up there. It will be a long\, easy paced day\, but you have to suck up the early start time if you want to join. \nI can’t remember the stats… say something like 10k\, 1000m gain\, and plenty of sit around time on the ridge\, so… let’s say a 12 hour day. \nYou don’t have to do anything technical here (with some option for it)\, but the trial to the ridge is a very steep ascent/descent\, so you have to be comfortable with that as a minimum. There is potential for some scrambling so if you’re keen for that pack your helmet\, please. \nCheers\, \nMichael JC \nYeah\, I can hear your groans about the start time. Suck it up. We’re not going to work\, we are going to have a fun day in the mountains. We will be ahead of the crowds AND there is a 99.94% chance we will have a mirror flat Rawson Lake ;). \nTimes are approx… if you need to be back in the city at a specific time\, it’s best to sit this one out. \n*******Please be kind to your fellow hikers and only sign up if you are committed to the event so you don’t take away the opportunity for someone else who might really want to join****.*** \nRideshare fee $20.00. \nMust-Have Gear \n-Sunscreen\n-Sunglasses\n-Bear Spray (not a ‘must have’ but bring if you do have\, please)\n-Headlamp (With fresh batteries)\n-An appropriate backpack\n-Proper hiking clothes/boots (NO COTTON)\, 1.5 liters of water\, personal first aid kit\, emergency bivvy sack\, and fire starting materials. \n***Pack appropriately\, i.e.\, like you are spending the night out unexpectedly!!!*** \n**HEADLAMP**(<——-this is written twice\, did you notice?) and FRESH batteries\, spare socks\, 1.5 liters of water (<—– this is also written twice)\, a big lunch\, and high energy snack foods. \nOptional Gear \n-Rock Climbers Helmet (if you want to scramble)\n-Hiking poles\n-Ski Goggles \nYour participation in this event means you have read and accepted the waiver by signing up for it. If you have stated "no" in your profile\, you will not be accepted to participate. You are fully aware that organizers are not professional guides and assume all responsibility for your safety and well-being. You are fully prepared with proper gear and are physically fit to do this hike with the group.

I plan to hike to at least the second tarn and maybe carry on into the cirque.\nThe hike isn’t hard but there are some steep parts. The views are spectacular from the meadows before Chester Lake and just keep getting better the higher we go.\nStrong beginners should be fine with this hike. The pace will be Slow and Steady. I don’t want any speed demons along. Also we hike as a group and stop at all junctions. \nThe Slow and Steady waiver ( which I will supply ) and Code of Conduct are in effect. \nThe suggested gas fee per passenger is $25.\nIncluding myself\, I’ll need at least 3 more drivers. \nBring enough to drink and eat and dress for the weather.
