近處的山色無限 - 5月9日登Mt. Windsor小記

jinsi

週六因工作關係趕不及參加Alex & Camony組織的牦牛峰之旅, 天氣很好, 便與Gloria到附近的Mt. Windsor走走. 景色如畫, 是不錯的路綫.

Mt. Windsor位於Porteau Cove與Lions Bay之間, 從温哥華出發約半小時車程. 我們那天較遲出發, 早上10:00h才扺達近Porteau Cove的Deeks Lake Trail停車場, 只有我們一輛車. 10:10h起程, 最初要走一段約4 km的logging road才到達Howe Sound Crest Trail的Trailhead (看到其他人把4X4的車直接開到Trailhead附近). 沿Howe Sound Crest Trail在林中上山, 路況很好, 沿途有清楚的路標, 到Deeks Lake前1 km才有點殘雪. 我們在途中稍停用午飯, 約12:55h到Deeks Lake湖邊.

Deeks Lake湖面仍是冰封, 但岸邊的冰雪已融, 不能走冬季的路綫踏湖而行, 而沿着夏季的山徑繞湖而走, 然後繼續上山. 約在1120m跋高處開始多硬雪, 較滑, 我們換上冰爪. 到Mt. Windsor和Peak 5400的岔口積雪漸深, 我們從那裏到Mt. Windsor峰頂都需要用雪鞋.

14:50h終於走出了林子, 到了Mt. Windsor前的山坳, 初睹山景, 賞心悅目. 從那裏開始有較陡斜的雪坡, 要用冰鎬輔助. 爬上山脊後的景色更佳, 四週一望無際, 在山群外更看到海岸與島嶼. 16:00h登上Mt. Windsor的峰頂. 那裏的山色無限, 襯着藍天白雲, 倍覺壯麗. 因時間緊迫 (出發太遲之過......), 我們在頂上休息一會便下山. 一路無事, 20:25h返回停車場, 是一次心滿意足之旅! :kx:

先上兩幅拼圖.

这是五千四百米呢？还是五千四百尺？

Peak 5400又名Gotha Peak, 高5384尺, 是Mt. Windsor南面的另一個山峰. 我推想Peak 5400的山名由此而來. (資料從www.bivouac.com而來)

...到了山顶你们吃东西吗？

休息時通常吃一點, 一路上需要不斷補充.

爱好者
带水吗？

如平常旅行一樣, 一定要帶足夠的水.

爱好者
到了山顶烧火吗？

因山火管制條例, 大部份地方都不能燒火.

Jinsi, thank you so much for doing Windsor again.  

Two weeks ago, I joined Sook, Jinsi and others doing the same route.  I was in terrible condition and regrettably ruined the summit opportunity for Sook and Jinsi.  :oops:   They were very kind in staying behind and make sure that I’m ok.

Anyways, weather for Saturday was perfect.  Though Jinsi only slept for 4 hours (due to work), she was full of energy, zooming her way up the steep slopes to Deeks lake.  I followed her foot steps, huffing and puffing my way along.  At the junction, my energy was so low that Jinsi has to constantly encourage and motivate this poor soul.  At the final steep ascent, it took me forever to finish the last 20+ steps.  Whereas this speed demon was already at the summit finished recording the panoramic views of the surrounding beautiful mountains.  She kept yelling wondering what the heck was I doing down below...  :evil:

Thanks again for the company and help.  Mission finally accomplished in knocking Windsor off my list !  :P

very respectful and polite reply! I couldn't agree with you more. Jinsi and  Sook are not only great hikers but also very strong team players.
