Aug Long, 2-4

Sea doesn't connect to Sky anymore due to rock slide.



So we are going to Chilliwack Valley to visit the Cheam Range

All survived and happy.

Sat we made up to the Williamson Lake camp in light shower and dense fog, we couldn't tell there was a lake. We camped by the meadow just above the lake, while Piotr n Anne kept going for Foley and hoping weather to clear up so they could check out the Cheam Range traverse.

Sunday morning was extremely windy. I woke up 4am by the flapping of the tent. the ceiling was shifting and i thought the tent fly was gonna go. Although the sky was clear and the clouds over Foley/Welch was zooming by like fast forwarded Planet Earth. Maria's group did Welch and Ran's group (Colin + Eliza car group) sketched out and traversed to meet up Piotr and Anne on East descending route. all of us glissaded back to camp about the same time. We had a nice evening sitting around fire and watch sunset towards Slesse.

Monday early morning, Piotr, Anne and I scrambled Welch summit via South Ridge, while Maria Yanna, Mike and Matthieu attempted Foley. Welch was a great solid 4th class scramble on the ridge. On descending our group had to move one at the time due to loose rocks.
