Hi Gloria,
Thanks for the confirmation here about the Garibaldi Neve traverse with your club members!
In terms of a 4-day trip, the itinerary would be similar to this:
Day-1: meet in Squamish and review al gear, weather and avalanche considerations for that date. Arrange vehicle transfer by placing 1-2 vehicles at the Black Tusk trailhead. After this drive up to Diamond Head trailhead and start traveling up to Elfin Shelter. 1st night in Elfin Shelter, or snow-camping nearby if desired. Elevation gain is about 700 meters, distance is about 8 km.
Day-2: travel out from Elfin Shelter onto the Garibaldi Glacier and up onto the Neve. A tent camp will be set up at the high point on the glaciers near Glacier Pikes at around 2,000 meters elevation. Elevation gain is about 700 meters up, 200 meters down; distance is about 12 km.
Day 3: Travel around Mt Garibaldi and down the Warren Glacier, then cross over past Table Mountain onto Garibaldi Lake. Cross Garibaldi Lake to camp Battleship Islands shelters. These are cooking shelters that we would set tents up beside. Elevation gain is about 250 meters up, 500 meters down; distance is about 11 km.
Day 4: Exit down Garibaldi Trail to the trailhead. Pick up vehicles and do reverse car-shuttle to pick up vehicles at Diamond Head. Back in Vancouver around 4-5 pm. Elevation loss is about 1,100 meters down, distance is about 10 km.
With 6 people we will be able to run the trip for $445 per person for a 4 day trip. We would run this at a max. ratio of 1 Guide per 6 people. If you have 8 or more we would require a 2nd guide, but I will keep the cost the same for you in order to simplify your planning. If you have less than 6 people the cost will change, let me know if this will be the case. We will include a pre-trip planning session in advance as well to go over gear, food and logistics. This should be at least 3-4 days in advance and can be at our office in the evening or during the day. All Avalanche safety equipment is included in this cost. People have to supply their own personal gear, food and transportation.
We would cover a lot of topics on this trip, including navigation on glaciers, snow camping skills, avi safety and glacier travel. I would expect each day will be fairly full, but if extra time (and energy) permits at the end of the day there are many short hikes that can be done. This could include to the top of the Gargoyles, Glacier Pikes, Clinker Peak, Taylor Meadows. Really though, most groups will find that the traverse itself is enough.
If you wish to cover more avalanche skills in depth during the traverse, we can certainly build this into the program. We would include a separate evening session in advance that is purely on Avalanche safety. Everyone would also get a Canadian Avalanche Association Certificate of completion for an AST-1 course. If you wish to do this, the cost will be an extra $50/person in order to cover the avalanche manuals, handouts, extra class session and certificates.
Please let us know as soon as you can which dates you would prefer, and then we can go ahead and confirm all the details. We will require 50% payment in advance in order to confirm this trip, with the final due 1 month in advance. Feel free to call or email with any other questions!
