MOUNT ECCLES

MT. ECCLES   2161 m.   7090’
Located in the Baldface/Grohman drainage, this uncommonly climbed mountain is in the northwest corner of the Baldface Creek Valley. It is drained in the west by Trozzo and Winlaw Creeks. It is remote enough that there is absolutely no redeeming value in climbing it.

Rating: ◊◊◊◊◊
Location:
In the Kokanee Range northwest of Nelson and just east of and close to Winlaw.
Difficulty: C2 strenuous, all off-trail
Elevation Gain:
Distance:
Time: 8-9 hours
Season: July to October
Access: Good forest service road.
Map: 82F/5, 11

Drive: Drive up Grohman Creek, then left on Baldface Creek for 20 km to where the bridge has been pulled.

Route: Rock hop across the creek and continue west into the cut block. Continue through timber via the east ridge and face to reach the long, flat, north-south oriented summit (5½ hours). Views are of Mulvey, Kokanee, Ymir, and as far south as Snowcrest.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
