The Stawamus Chief in Squamish, BC is one of those hikes that sounds manageable on paper until you're actually on it.

The trail starts innocent enough, a forested path with some elevation gain. Then the granite shows up. Steep, unforgiving slabs with chains bolted into the rock to help you pull yourself up. Your hands and legs are both working the whole time. It's less of a hike and more of a full-body scramble once you get into the upper sections.

I made it to the summit in 1 hour flat. The descent took 14 minutes.

At the top, you're standing on one of the largest granite monoliths in the world, over 700 metres above Squamish. The view stretches across Howe Sound, the valley below, the mountains in every direction. It's the kind of view that makes you forget your legs are on fire.

A few things worth knowing if you're planning this:

• The chain sections are the real workout. Don't skip upper body day before this one.
• Wear shoes with grip. The granite gets slippery and there's no margin for error on the steeper sections.
• Go early. The parking lot fills up fast and the trail gets busy.
• There are three peaks. Most people do Peak 1. All three is a different beast entirely.

British Columbia just keeps delivering. This one's going straight to the top of my list.

How's your weekend looking like?

What to do with all these?

Edit: as I said this was in my friend's apartment I didn't drink all of it 😭

Did a quick 3 day escape from Delhi to Chopta. Drove through Tehri Dam on the way and honestly the dam itself was worth stopping for. The scale of it hits different when you're actually standing there.

Started from the bottom and went all the way up. The trail from Chopta to Tungnath is stunning from the very first step. Dense forest opens up to open meadows, then the temperature drops and the views just keep getting bigger.

The route from bottom to top is genuinely one of the prettiest treks I've done. Not technically difficult but the scenery at every stage makes you stop constantly.

Route

Delhi to Tehri Dam to Chopta to Tungnath to Chandrashila and back. (It's longer route but I wanted to visti Tehri as well)

Happy to answer questions on the drive route, stay options, or the trek itself

Budget

just fuel and food costed me around 5k-ish

recap:

Did one of the most rewarding things I've done solo. Sar Pass- 5 days, 4 nights.

The Route:

Kasol to Grahan Village to Min Thach to Nagaru to Sar Pass Summit (13,800 ft) to descent back

Dense pine forests, open meadows, snow-covered ridgelines, tiny Himachali villages all covered in fog and rain.

Day 1 climb to grahan village (brutal, sweaty and sunny)

Day 2 climb to Min Thach (brutal again but you go through pine forest feels good and I saw dense fog climbing uo the forest and rain all across the mountian)

Day 3 to Nagaru is where the snow starts and it doesn't stop. The summit at 13,800 ft is the kind of thing you can't describe. You just stand there and stare.

Camped at Grahan, Min Thach, and Nagaru. Sleeping in a tent at that altitude with the silence around you hits differently.

Solo experience:

Met people on the trail. This trek attracts a solid mix of solo travelers, small groups, foreign backpackers.

Budget (Delhi round trip):

• Bus Delhi to Kasol (both sides): 1,800

• Trek package (5D4N, all meals + tent + guide): 5,000

• Food/misc in Kasol: 1,000-1,500

• Total: \~8,000-9,000

Tips:

• Best months: May-June (snow still there) and September-October (clear skies)

• Carry layers, it gets cold fast above Nagaru

• Kasol has great food, spend an evening there before the trek starts

Would 100% do it again. If you're sitting on the fence about solo trekking, this is the one to start with.

Happy to answer questions on budget, logistics, or the trail.

and the flairs are hilarious 💀
