Summit: 2213M
ELEVATION GAIN: 1268M
Info quoted from book "scranbles"
Brandywine Mountain is a fantastic scramble. The view from the south ridge are spectacular; glaciated peaks and jagged spires stretch as far west as the eye can see. The beautiful Brandywine Meadows make a good campsite for those interested in staying overnight; however, this trip feasible as a day trip from Vancouver for those with less time. This trip has almost no exposure or tricky scrambling and the routefinding is fairly straightforward. The route ascends the south ridge of the peak,which is accessed directly from the north end of the meadows.
By one account, the name of the mountain comes from a wafer between two members of a railway survey party in 1910. A bottle of brandy was bet against a bottle of wine over the height of what is now known as Brandy falls,which was measured with a chain.
