It was bitter cold at -5F when we visited Whistler. I had to really take care of everything to do a long day trip. I bought liner gloves (work great!) and the little bags of handwarmers. I boiled my water because otherwise it would freeze during the day. For clothing, I was wearing triple layers of everything, balaclava, etc.
I wish I had booked a night at the Kees and Claire Hut, but it was full when it became evident the weather was good. Due to the cold weather I didn't want to do an overnight with a tent, so I did a long day trip instead. I really wanted to try and see the area around Fissile and Whirlwind, so I left super early and slogged up Singing Pass in the dark.
I headed in the direction of Whirlwind but turned around at 7000ft because I was not comfortable with the avalanche conditions.
Time estimates:
- Started 3am
- 5h30m to singing pass
- 7h (accumulative) to Kees and Claire Hut
- 10h to 7000ft on Whirlwind
