There are a total of 5 peaks along the Needles / Lynn Ridge with the most direct approach for all being from Hydraulic Creek. The generally recognized main summit of Lynn Peak is the one immediately south of the Hydraulic Creek drainage (the north peak). The one immediately beyond the viewpoint at the top of the Lynn Pk trail is referred to as "South Lynn Peak" on bivouac.com.

Hi everyone,

Hoping to get a few more participants for this weekends Fluffy Bunny run! It is not on Sunday anymore. New date is Saturday June 18th.

For those of you who are thinking of the original Fluffy Bunny routes, they don't exist anymore :-)  We have two much more tame around the lake runs (with the lovely Lakeview trail on the west as an alternative to the basic buntzen lake trail) and a harder 27km up and over Diez Vista + if you want a bit more of a challenge.

Cheers,

Jess Dagg

I volunteered to help a fellow runner... now in a bit of a pickle.  Maybe you can help? 

Jeremy is hoping to come from Vancouver Island to this Sunday's (19 June) KneeKnacker training run.  I offered to put him up for the night in my spare bedroom, but have learned I will be out of town.

If you have a couch you could spare on Saturday evening, please call me (604-904-6554) and I'll hook you up with Jeremy.

Thx!
