Black Tusk Chimney Scramble

SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/lifeofluke
The iconic shape of Black Tusk can be seen from all around Whistler and Squamish. The stratovolcano pinnacle can be climbed via a fun scramble up a chimney, leading to incredible views over Garibaldi Lake, Panorama ridge, Tantalus, and surrounding mountain ranges. Follow my climb as I show the way up the chimney in POV.
Thanks for watching!

You should be a hiking guide! What amazing adventure you go on. Thanks for sharing!

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Carolyn!

[@rockymountainroughridersofMT.]

Intense, yet rewarding at the pinnacle !!!! Another amazing trek Luke.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks again!

[@rodkeays8171]

I climbed it with three friends in 1976 before so much wear was on the chimney rock. And yes a great view.

[@Zoomdak]

My friend and I tried to ascend this in August 2021 and got to the base as it started hailing. We were like Nope. So it is super cool to see the epic views you were able to enjoy, truly remarkable place!

[@lynneamills8881]

Thank you for sharing the Squamish teachings! 🙌🏼

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Lynnea, I also have another video titled: History and Legend of Squamish First Nation if you want to see more!

[@madisonkennedy7406]

This is awesome!

[@NatureBoyBC]

You're a brave man! I plan on taking this challenge on this year

[@scottjuniper7985]

Very informative. Thanks Luke!

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Scott!

[@shawnmurphy2047]

So spectacular ❤

[@aminalone]

Incredible views.... I have self driven from Calgary to Vancouver. The Rockies are awesome. Take care out there. Awesome vids.

[@lifeofluke]

They definitely are, that is a beautiful drive! Thanks!

[@MitchelStewart]

Wow, now this is the kind of hike i wanted to take in BC haha!! This was sweet.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Mitchel!

[@edlennox1]

It is an amazing view! Mark and I have to come west again!!

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Chucky!

[@mountfairweather]

We all love dogs. But no dogs at Garabaldi please, please respect bc park rules. No doggos

[@ROBERTS604]

Lmao, "pop a xan" chill out buddy.

[@mountfairweather]

@@ROBERTS604 dogs were allowed in the park many decades ago. They were banned due to trampling vegetation, disrupting sensitive flora and fauna, killing ground squirrels/marmots, polluting drinking sources, defecation, and injuring hikers and other dogs. So I stand by my statement no dogs please

[@xbeautifulthings]

@@ROBERTS604 nah, its about respecting nature.

[@xbeautifulthings]

@@mountfairweather Agreed :)

[@BiggusDiggusable]

Totally agree

[@VISUALefference]

Great video!! I just did this the other day. I was wondering if there were any hikes/scrambles similar to this you can reccomend in AB or BC?

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

I did this in 1994 with 5 of us and zero climbing experience or gear. We made it to the top assuming that everyone else knew what they were doing. It all worked out and is still one of my all time favourite views.

[@jshomeservices376]

Yes! My dad took us in the early 90’s when we were preteens, couldn’t walk for two days after lol

[@schwavdeeff]

Yoooo dogs are super prohibited in Garibaldi Park.

[@lifeofluke]

call the police

[@schwavdeeff]

Harsh.

[@schwavdeeff]

Heads up you never know when you’re talking to a park ranger.

[@lifeofluke]

@@schwavdeeff dogs belong in the mountains too

[@lifeofluke]

@@schwavdeeff you're right I don't

[@daveclark4085]

Wonderful video! Exactly what I was looking for to decide whether or not I wanted to do the chimney. What month was this? Thanks!

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Dave! This was in early July

[@irineiaribeirodefaria5999]

Lugar incrível espetáculo coisa de Deus

[@lifeofluke]

Obrigado!

[@scottgoodson7910]

So cool! Thanks for the ride! Love your effort on all locations to include history! Hey what do you do with Nina when you did the scramble? I'm sure she's trained for it now but is it a lil nerve racking leaving her secured below?

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Scott, I just tied her to some large rocks in a safe spot, I was up and down pretty quickly

[@antamoinen]

Very nice places and wiews.. i was hiking in northern norway, looks bit same in there :)

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks! I would love to go to Norway!

[@antamoinen]

i visited there 2 times now, begin of september is best time to visit there i think:) there is many places for scrambling and steep hiking :) next year im gonna make new hiking trip there

[@lifeofluke]

@@antamoinen Scrambling and steep hiking is perfect, and thanks for the tip!

[@antamoinen]

@@lifeofluke check kitdalen and storfjord from internet, some nice peaks in there :)

[@ohassany13]

Awesome video! When month did you go up? Doesn't seem too busy...

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks! This was in July, I just started really early in the morning and beat the crowds

[@EE-in2uv]

What’s the best and safest way to go down the chimney then?

[@patperron8790]

On the last part of the hike, what did you do with the dog?

[@lifeofluke]

booked it out of there before we got caught, haha

[@caitieb264]

For the chimney part (obviously not the whole hike) do you recommend hiking shies or climbing shoes?

[@lifeofluke]

hiking shoes will work fine

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

More templars? 😂

[@jeffwu5210]

luke how did you set up ur camera at that narrow pathway? and btw where was ur dog?

[@lifeofluke]

I brought my tripod up with me and set it up at the top of the chimney where there's a flat spot. And Nina was tied safe below waiting for me

[@jeffwu5210]

oh i see. u have some incredible filming skills.

[@jeffwu5210]

luke how did u do the zoom in video? some part of ur video was slowly zoomed in.

[@lifeofluke]

I did it in the editing program, just a digital zoom in

[@jeffwu5210]

i learned a lot from you. ur video of mount temple gave me inspiration and i went to sentinel pass this June by myself.

[@adamlocke2356]

how the new boots?

[@lifeofluke]

They're good, no massive holes like my last and fresh grip on the bottom

[@950Brandon]

Getting up is difficult, but getting down is even more difficult…. lol

[@lifeofluke]

I found them both pretty easy to be honest... haha

[@jordan-hw5hx]

is this where that woman died?

[@mattsmith6806]

yes

[@nich8447]

how tf is your dog getting up there

[@markmannetabique5383]

I wonder what happened to the dog he was left behind

[@lifeofluke]

She waited for me at the base of the scamble

[@bradmacdonald7626]

Palms sweating

[@lifeofluke]

knees weak, arms are heavy

[@HM-gk3rq]

The part just before the chimney seemed steep and sketchy. 😬. Views make it seem worth it tho

[@lifeofluke]

You are correct, but it's worth it!

[@hussanriasat3663]

My friend and I got halfway to the chimney on the ridge a few days ago, but turned back just before where I think the chimney was because it looked too sketch. Maybe next time. Luke you make it look so easy man! Awesome video.

[@mike7gerald]

It could be dangerous to climb Black Tusk Chimney.

[@BB-qf1ns]

You can bring dog ? I wanna but online said no dogs :(?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lifeofluke]

Unfortunately BC Parks has a draconian no dogs rule for the entirety of Garibaldi provincial park

[@jaredh5971]

@@lifeofluke There's valid reasons why dogs aren't allowed. But whatever clearly your ego is too big and you think you're above the rules.

[@JC27813]

@@jaredh5971 what are the valid reasons?

[@wadeinbc]

@@lifeofluke just reading your replies about dogs and there are many reasons however if you’re going to be a dick about it then hopefully karma catches up with you and not your dog through another Animal encounter.

[@xbeautifulthings]

@Jared H haha my thoughts exactly. takes some serious ego to bring a dog here 💀

[@BiggusDiggusable]

Nice video but it's irritating to see someone who thinks they can just take their dog into an area where dogs are banned. There are good reasons there is this rule and an added reason is that many people want a space that isn't crawling with people's pets when they go out into the wilderness

[@angelaf3260]

Just because you believe the no dog rule is draconian doesn’t mean there isn’t actual reasons why they aren’t allowed. Please don’t give hikers a bad name by blatantly going against park rules.
