On the last day, we woke to yet more sunshine and another cloudless sky and after a relaxed breakfast, I learned to build rock anchors before we packed up all our kit.
Having eaten four days of food and packed more effectively, the bag felt better than it did on the way in! I was more comfortable in my big boots too, so our hike out was much quicker.
We went south over a bouldery moraine then met a hiking trail by a little lake. Oh how blissfully easy it is to hike on a trail! And the heather meadows and small trees were beautiful. We got a great view of the buttress we'd climbed the day before, then we had to start to readjust to life around other people. There were a lot of day hikers out and we even met an 83 year old man on the trail, which was awesome. I hope to be hiking in the sub alpine when I'm 83 too!
Back to the gondola, into Whistler village and to a quiet cafe for a burger and milkshake in the shady garden - ahh, so nice.
