@@peak_pursuits I have a followup question regarding use of drone.. I am considering getting 1 and live in Vancouver. Are there "geo-zones" or other areas that make it simply not usable either by law or otherwise?
For hikers with drones, the zones to be concerned about are provincial and national parks which never allow drone flight. Luckily, the Vancouver area still has a lot of mountains and hikes that are outside these protected area. Some examples include Mount Harvey and Brunswick Mountain (which we recently published a video about th-cam.com/video/VjMBdq4x6FQ/w-d-xo.html). You can find more information about the restricted zones at nrc.canada.ca/en/drone-tool/, but the tool strangely does not include provincial parks. Be mindful that any drone heavier than 150g requires it to be registered and that the pilot gets a license. Sorry about the super late reply. It took us a while to get used to the comment UI in TH-cam Studio.
I ended up doing that hike alone last fall. Due to several compounding reasons I wasn't quite able to get to the top, but close. Amazing spectacular hike. But I really found it tough - all that boulder hopping that just goes on and on really gets old, and the "trail", where it exists, is constantly so hard to find and stay on when you're a ways past the lake. I can't wait to go back!
Simply wow and so well produced. Thanks for sharing.
Really glad you like it! Hopefully, it gave you a good idea of what the hike is like.
