2020 (last year) Mt Seymour. A notable event on this day was that US-Canada border was closed due to C19.
The photo below was taken from the summit of Mount Seymour in March 2020, with eleven peaks of the North Shore. Adding Mt. Seymour where the photo was taken from, it makes 12 objective peaks to visit on the North Shore. Some peaks are very popular, and some are rarely climbed. Some peaks are technical even on the simplest route, and some are NTD class 1-2. Among those, one can find a decent challenge for anybody: hikers, rock climbers or alpinists.
