views

Starting up the Saloompt Bluffs trail, continue north up the blunt ridge, through mixed slabs and tree islands until gaining the alpine.

Some short steep sections at beginning give way to gentle slopes.

From the ice rink follow flagged trail up switchbacks to some stairs. Continue past valley views and a couple switchbacks to Snootli Crag; leave crag on left and follow the Nuxalk Peak trail (sign just after the crag), head West past 2 slides/waterfalls to a junction. Follow the Bodhi Tree trail upwards (rather than traversing West on Crystal Creek trail), until intersecting the main buttress before the deep ravine feature that dominates this Northern aspect of the mountain. Hike steeply up zig-zagging ledges to an excellent view of the valley and inlet - Dog Ledge. To continue to the Bodhi Tree, continue up past a few minor fixed lines and many great views of the valley, to the mini-summit about half-way up the face. This is actually the lower half of the Snootli descent trail.

Breathtaking views up an improbable line, crisscrossing the open north-west butress of Nuxalk Mountain, up narrow ledges with a few fixed lines.
