| Itinerary: |
Last-minute decision to hike up Hunchback Hill near Powderface Trail.
Hiking Distance is 8 km, Elevation gain is approximately 400 m, High Point 2097m above sea level First 2.2 km is on a good trail, last 1.7 to south summit is off-trail and somewhat steep.
I haven't done this hike before but some of my friends enjoyed it on October 2.
We have an option to hike further to the lower north hunchback hill summits or to Lusk Pass.

| Notes: |
This route has not yet been "vetted" for avalanche conditions according to K-Country Avalanche
but my whole route is considered to be in Class 1 or Simple terrain. Little snow cover is expected anyhow.
