My good friend and I traveled to Saltspring Island this past weekend to camp and climb. Two mountains in two days! Mt. Erskine (*****) and Mt. Maxwell (***). Erskine is magical. Honestly. Fairy doors and a crazy exposed ascent where I continually repeated, “There’s no room for error. You realize this?” The trail had it all though. Everything. Definite 5 star. Maxwell is a great workout (take #4 then branch to #6 for a decent loop). Views were amazing. Camped on Ruckle. Beautiful beach. Very Happy Place!
