[Hide Comment] Don't be afraid of getting sandbagged again here. The grades of On The Virg and Mormegil are comparable to Squamish and the climbs are worth the hike and water logistics!

The driving part of the approach can be confusing the first time. Here's where you park: 50.19047,-124.21176 Aug 3, 2021
