Pretty contentious issue, slippery slope and nest of vipers. I've hiked the ferrata a couple times and my initial reaction has been, great idea, lousy execution. Does such a contrivance have a place on the Chief? IMHO, just as much as the ladders and chains placed by BC Parks and the bolts we climbe...

Hello, I'm brand new to this forum. John Howe told me there was a post here about people cleaning to the right of the Badge. Whoever those guys are almost killed me and Jia last year. Closest call I've had in over ten years. I walk that trail frequently, so do others. If we don't know about this pos...
