26.06km distance, 3049m vert including a few minor detours on the descent.
Trail is well marked until Mount Currie meadows, after which it's essentially pick your line. I probably ended up going too far east before beginning the ascent to the summit, which resulted in scrambling on loose, wet, lichen-covered rock for the last 100m or so. No exposure or technical difficulties, but not a forgiving landing.
Approach to the trailhead was done in 4WD; water-bars stopped me at a clearing before the road steepens, though an F150 had managed to get a bit further up. From where I stopped, it was perhaps ~1.5km to the beginning of the trail (marked by a noticeboard).
This was my second attempt; first was in late September 2018, at which point there was already a lot of snow on the final slope/talus field to the summit and I stopped 350m short.
