Mount Jackson to UN 13433 to MHC to Grouse to Beaver Creek

Post by ekviatnie »

I am planning on doing a route starting at Beaver Creek village then up the Five Senses trail to summits of Jackson and UN 13433. From UN 13433, I would like to descend to Cross Creek and then ascend to the summit of Mount of the Holy Cross. Does anyone have any experience climbing the MHC from the Cross Creek basin? Many ascent routes look chock-a-block full of loose talus or cliffed-out. I will attach my speculative route based on a reconnoitre climb today to the summit of Jackson and UN 13433.

My route today started in blue, then returned in purple. For the traverse I would like to do, I will start blue, then green, then return on the aqua blue route.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.
