Lady Peak Hike

On July 16, Dan and I went on a hike to the Cheam area. We were aiming to do both Cheam Peak and Lady Peak, but after a late start and taking out time finding the trail branching off to Lady Peak, on the way down from Lady Peak we decided Cheam Peak looked more like a Grouse Grind on steroids than the fun scrambling on the first summit, so we headed straight down, bootskiing a good chunk of the way.
