Dan and I climbed Mount Strachan this Saturday. It was my birthday wish. We packed sandwiches - cheese, sprouts, cucumber, avocado. Hummus for Dan, mustard for me - and set off around 10am. The Vancouver Trails website said 5.5 hours for this hike, and I've always found that that website overestimates by quite a bit, but this hike, in winter, took us 6 hours (including a stop for lunch). It was awesome and intense in parts, and on the descent there is a plane wreckage.
