Sky Pilot: A Squamish Classic

SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/lifeofluke
Above the Squamish gondola towers Sky Pilot, a challenging peak with exposed scramble sections, a pocket glacier, and something new around every corner. This Sea to Sky classic mountain makes for a fun day and some sweet views. Thanks for watching!

    40 + yrs ago as high schoolers we'd access via weldwood logging roads. Don't know if I could still do skypilot but you've inspired me to try again sometime

    Man! I remember doing these thirty years ago when there was no trail, people or lift! We could 4x4 up to the base of the mountain back then. Good to see again! Bryan from Vancouver

    Another great video and congratulations on the successful summit. Curious tho, you didn't mention anything about the pink slab. Most people that I have talked to, spoke of this segment as being the toughest part of the hike? Did your team take a different route which bypasses it?

  • @lifeofluke

    Thanks Eddy. The pink slab was shown from 4:00 to 5:10 it is worth taking it slow and being careful, but our group had no difficulty with it.
