Measurement notes
10Adventures publishes 2.8 km return and 177 m cumulative ascent for its viewpoint out-and-back. Caledonia Ramblers gives 3 km. Optional summit-rim loops differ.
The published gain is not a summit altitude. The existing source line may predate the longer RSTBC reroute, so a current complete route profile is still unverified.
