Mount Garibaldi Summit
Towering volcano climbing above the pacific
Located in Garibaldi Provincial Park, Mount Garibaldi, also known as Diamond Head, is the last peak in the chain of stratovolcanoes extending from California’s Mount Shasta.
Mount Garibaldi sports massive glaciers and a truly Olympian summit. This two days guided trip entails a bivouac at the edge of the Warren Glacier and a steep snow/ice climb up the northeast face of the mountain to its high point at 2678 meters (8,786 feet).
This is a grand outing that takes you literally from Sea to Sky! The vistas off the top of Mt Garibaldi looking down to the Howe Sound are next to none worldwide.
*Due to the remote nature of this mountain access requires a 4x4 vehicle or helicopter access. Either option can be added at an additional cost*
