DIRECTIONS: Foley FSR to Chipmunk FSR - High Clearance 4x4 mandatory... dozens of deep water bars on Chipmunk FSR. You can park lower down at Foley / Chipmunk fork but or you are going to have to walk many km's and gain a ton of elevation just to get to the trail head. create
SUMMARY: Steep low quality trail, exposure, chossy rock in some areas, steep snowfields requiring crampons (if you choose that route or go early season), route finding, scrambling class 2-3 up the rib and near the peak make this an interesting adventure but not for beginners. create

Lady Peak

Jul 19, 2020
Something a little shorter and I still needed to tag a few peaks on the Cheam range so Lady fit the bill.
Suffice it to say that Cheam which is right next door was crawling with people all day long and I was glad to have Lady to myself.
High Clearance 4x4 mandatory to reach upper parking lot. Tons of harsh water bars along Chipmunk FSR. I picked up a couple on the way up and a single guy on the way down.. they had parked at the Foley / Chipmunk fork and were super grateful for the lift.
There are a number of ways to attain the peak... I took a direct approach up steep snowfields until I ran out of snow then scrambled up until I caught the ridge. Then you follow the ridge until you find the cairn.
Gorgeous area... beautiful meadows and almost fake saturation of greens. Wild flowers are still a few weeks away.
