Hello! I've been researching Mount Thor (and the Auyuittuq Park) for my novel, but I've got a question I haven't been able to answer:
Is Mount Thor possible to ascend as a day trek (so, *not* the West face) i.e. to hike it from the base to the top and go all the way back down in one day?
For context, the character in my novel doesn't have specific hiking/trekking experience but has a background in bouldering and is accompanied by two guides who have plenty of trekking experience. I'm wondering if I can have her and the guides go to the top and back down in one day, or if I need to spread the action over two days (and have the three of them sleep somewhere on the mountain). My own experience in hiking is limited to warmer climates and chiller treks (no ice and heavy bags, for one thing) so I have literally no idea how long it could take to trek 1675 meters roundtrip.
More context: the hike would take place in August.
I'm also looking for suggestions as to what the timeline would look like (for example: starting the trek from the base of Mount Thor at X o'clock, reaching the top at Y o'clock, and back down to the base at Z o'clock.)
