I scanned Squamish Trail Map and drew some route lines, we won't take route which NSH used, i'll follow the the logging road(red line),then continue up to the col with the main summit, from here,follow the north ridge to the peak(green line).
BTW:It says the name Mt. Mulligan is incorrectly placed on map 92G//11, i think as well as on the map i posted, it should be moved to the summit 1 km S.
Mulligan NW spur
Condition: Ditched, driveable. The recommended route to Mount Mulligan.
General Route: Swings south around the west side of Mount Mulligan towards Ray Creek. Terminates high on Mulligan, near 1200m.
How To Find: From km 7 on Mamquam Main, Milepost 5, the main road turns left and levels off, the Mulligan roads turn right (go straight ahead) towards Mount Mulligan. Go right at the first Y fork, ~100m from the mainline (left goes to the deactivated NE spur). At the second Y, about 2km up, go left. The road climbs right into the headwaters of Ray Creek directly below Mount Mulligan. The main summit is south of the creek. This is a recommended winter ski trip and an easy summer hiking approach. [The second fork at Km 2 eventually joins Stawamus-Indian Road. This fork has reportedly also been used to ascend Mulligan.]

Mt Mulligan is an insignificant peak east of Squamish, but it offers a better workout than the local mountains, as well as some good skiing and perhaps the best views of the Skypilots. Unfortunately the original approach via the logging roads above Raffuse Cr. has become very unpleasant and almost unusable with deactivation of the roads. The new route uses a logging road on the NW side of the mountain.
To get to it follow the Mamquam River main to about 7 km from the highway. Go straight, where the main road levels of to the left and continue for 100m to where the original route went straight ahead. Update 2006: Now gated at turn off. Turn right steeply through tall second growth. This road is ditched also, but driveable. It is easy to follow as there are no major forks requiring decision making. It gradually makes its way around to the Westside of the mountain before switchbacking to a recent clear-cut at 1200m. If the 5000’ peak marked Mulligan on the map is your objective, head east up to the wooded ridge. The ridge is wide and climbs at an easy grade through widely spaced medium size trees and makes for great tree skiing, particularly with fresh snow when the higher peak to the south may be more hazardous. If you want to go to the 5300’ S peak, follow the road for another km into the level valley to below the saddle between the two peaks. Ascend steeply to the S side of the broad saddle, then climb the open ridge over some steep steps to the peak. The narrow ridge between the N peak and the saddle is also skiable but not very pleasant.
Mamquam River Main info:
How To Find: The Mamquam River Forest Service Road (FSR) leaves Highway 99 about 1 km south of Squamish at the Apron parking lot (Stawamus Chief Provincial Park). At Mile 18 the road branches into the major east and south forks of Mamquam River. The loggers have named these E-Main and S-Main. S-Main is arbitrarily chosen as the continuation of the mainline.

Road Bulletins
2004.02.08 Paul Kubik Brutal: Should have consulted the road reports before heading up. We took the deactivated NE spur up Mount Mulligan, following a group of North Shore Hikers on snowshoes. Carried skis for 2km to the first breakable crust. Then numerous, bare cross-ditches until we finally broke free near 1200m. Final summit bid was on great powder, albeit a little heavy. Klaus Haring recommends the NW spur instead.
2006.03.13 Klaus Haring Gated but skiable all the way : The "gate" consists of 4 concrete blocks and a steel cable encased in a plastic drainage pipe and a massive padlock. Except for a few rocks an the first few 100m the road is well covered for skiing. The first 2km or so have been brushed out. Then after turning uphill at the junction a few bushes intrude but are easily passed except in the big washout another km up the road. Good skiing and excellent powder near top of clear-cut and in forest to Mulligan North peak.
2006.01.07 Rhys Gibb Road barricaded: The road is barricaded 50 metres beyond the Mamquam main, 100 metres before the junction with the Mulligan NE spur. The road is in good shape, however, and would have been driveable to the snowline if not for the barricade. |
