Highest Peak on Vancouver's North Shore - BRUNSWICK MOUNTAIN

We summit Brunswick Mountain, the highest peak on Vancouver's North Shore, followed by Mt. Harvey right next to it.
This video was filmed on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples - Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Tsleil-Waututh & Musqueam First Nations.

Brunswick is more difficult than Harvey, with a crazy razor ridge. I've summited both. Terrible incident for the Asian group who lost their lives on Harvey when the snow at the top gave way. Only one survivor to relay the story.

[@dannygrays]

Right from the start the sights and sounds captured me and made it feel like I was right there with you. Absolutely breath taking sights. For 13 mins, 57 secs I was transported from London to Brunswick Mountain! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Danny, always appreciate your support and kind words!

[@nigelmoscrop9987]

Thanks for a beautiful video , I don't think I'd dare go along some of those ridges , I'd get all giddy , haven't got a head for heights , Very impressed !

[@yodowilderness]

Brunswick will be on my challenge list. I love the BGM

[@Martell276]

That wide angle lens is really something. This looks like such an incredible hike.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks James, that’s the Insta360 One X2. Really fun addition to my storytelling toolbox.

[@vincentstrgar441]

Beautiful video. Thanks! I discovered this beautiful area this past summer. Your video will help me get through the long winter!

[@adamstevensvisuals]

That 360 camera angle on the ridge is $$$!!! Great video as always Jeff

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Adam! Yea, that’s definitely where the 360 camera shines.

[@khalidzia5]

beauty of this place is making you beautiful.

Great video and camera work! Thanks.

Merci de nous faire découvrir toutes ces belles montagnes incroyables

[@JeffPelletier]

C’est mon plaisir!

[@stephenw.6588]

Brilliant video. Really well filmed and edited! Appreciate seeing Brunswick through another person’s perspective. Been up it perhaps 35 times, more than a dozen winter solos. Tough grind - super impressed that you all knocked off Harvey too! Bold fitness!!

[@johnofardeal]

Jeff’s videos are some of my fav content on the internet. Can’t wait to see the next one!

[@Westcoast_Fishing]

Awesome video doing the HSCT in a week from now. Can’t wait to go up and hike the backcountry.

[@JordanGreenPNW]

Awesome video! Love the kind of fast & light running/peakbagging adventures. Looks like a great time.

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

Such nice mountains, and a bit technical too. Weather so nice really boosting the colours :)

[@keithhannigan8507]

Great Video, my favorite one yet!!! Very tranquil, beautifully filmed, amazing soundtrack and the Canadian landscape is spectacular!!!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Keith!

[@decentdiversions]

Did these summits in early June 2019 and followed the HSCT between both summits. Unforgettable way to end my trip out west. Looking forward to coming back.

[@johnslobbe7438]

We can just see the top of the North Shore mountains from our house on the West Shore in Greater Victoria. Pretty cool to see them this way as well.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks John. There's some pretty incredible terrain up in Strathcona Park on the Island as well. Have you made it up that way?

[@johnslobbe7438]

@@JeffPelletier I have camped at Beavertail Lake which had some great views of the highlands and I have had my boat on Great Central Lake to the Della Falls trailhead which is in Strathcona but only accessable by boat or seaplane. Would love to do the Della Falls hike

[@KevinHoegler]

Honestly, hope one day to hit mountains like this. Super cool

i always wait for you and kraig adams to upload lmao

Yet another day hike for the list when I do finally cross the pond to Canada. Great video as always! (You should make a collab with KraigAdams)

[@kevinkim2691]

YES! Make it happen :)

[@pokemonlv100shiny]

Brunswick and Harvie on a same day? WOW

[@zeldrisgaming23]

wowww!!! very informational video and an amazing hike!! we did mt. brunswick before and got tired already XD and you did mt.harvey too! damn!! can you please share what kind of training or preparations do we need on these hikes?

[@tankhistoryfordummies]

I'm planning to do this hike in mid July. Is the last 400-500m of the trail hard?

[@JeffPelletier]

I suppose it’s relative, but I would consider this to be a fairly advanced hike given the exposure on the ridge, not to mention how steep the trail is over all. If in doubt, you could always stop below the summit at any point you’re most comfortable. The views don’t exactly change much from the start of the ridge to the end.

[@tankhistoryfordummies]

@@JeffPelletier Did Brunswick July 28th and got to the true summit. Took quite long though, about 9 hours round trip, worth the hike, best views I've ever seen. I might do Harvey soon. Did The Lions on July 18th.

[@JeffPelletier]

Congrats! Harvey I find a little easier, so maybe better ‘bang for buck’ and not as busy.

[@khalidzia5]

we are nature lover like you.

[@Thediddler123]

I notice you all took pretty small backpacks for this hike. Do you mind sharing what you bring with you on a hike in terms of food, amount of water, etc.?

[@aghostfromyourtown]

I need to improve my stamina to climb this mountain

[@kevindecoteau3186]

Wow, one misstep and you are no more. What shoes do wear while hiking?

[@JeffPelletier]

Hey Kevin, I wear the Salomon Sense Pro.

[@BiggusDiggusable]

Was it too early for the flies? I did it in August and they were a nightmare.

[@chasethealberts]

Really awesome video! How do you do that google earth trail overlay, it’s amazing!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks John! I use Google Earth Studio, a free online tool, for the base map animation. I then animate the route and add text in Adobe After Effects (this part is a little more complicated).

[@trustyenriquez]

Epic drone shots 🙏 how long did it take to Brunswick peak from trail head?

[@JeffPelletier]

I think it was about 2.5 hours to the summit from the car.

[@Loiswomgawesome]

Can you show your process on how you edit your go pro footage please? I have a hero 8 but my footage is always so grainy and wondering what program you’re using and how you’re fixing it or even just the settings you shoot in

[@StrapedWitMyGloc44]

Hey, which peak has the better views do you think? I've done Brunswick a few times but never Harvey. Going to take my brother this weekend and was thinking of doing Harvey to change it up but I don't want to cheat my brother out of the best view/experience!

[@JeffPelletier]

That’s debatable. Brunswick gives you a better view to the North of Brunswick Lake, but Harvey gives a closer look at the Lions and of Brunswick itself. I think Harvey is better ‘bang for buck’ and tends to be less busy. I also really like the approach along the ridge on Harvey and it’s easiest for a newer hiker. Brunswick is just more fun if you’re looking for a bit of a scramble!

[@StrapedWitMyGloc44]

@@JeffPelletier You sold me on Harvey , can't wait for Sunday! Thank you!

[@JeffPelletier]

Enjoy!

[@yodowilderness]

I was wondering how you can identify the name of the mountains and islands? thanks

[@JeffPelletier]

I pretty much know (and have been to) all the peaks and islands in the area. But I cheat sometimes and use the Peak Finder AR app, which I highly recommend!

[@theodorerichardson5694]

"Nice video" I'd recommend.

[@michaelstutorials6977]

Hey how do you keep yourself from getting injured? Specifically knee problems?

[@JeffPelletier]

I’ve never had knee problems, which I think is thanks to having built up my mileage very slowly over time. Strength Training can help to avoid injury as well.

[@rbmedia8798]

What’s the water situation like on the way up? Any creek crossings

[@JeffPelletier]

There is a pretty major water crossing 1/3 of the way up that I always pull water from, but not much after that.

[@kevvymetal666]

why filter that water?

[@achalshah1072]

What kind of shoes are you and others wearing?

[@JeffPelletier]

Both Audrée and I, as well as our friend Coral I believe, were wearing the Salomon Sense Pro 4. It has sadly been discontinued though.

[@glennelliott708]

In April of 2017, 5 experienced hikers died on this mountain. Take care, take precautions and never underestimate the environment.

[@JeffPelletier]

You're referring to the group who fell to their deaths when a snow cornice collapsed on Mt Harvey. Different conditions of course to what we faced in July, but I agree with the sentiment of your comment.

[@valentinofamilytv6797]

How long is the hike from where you park ?

[@JeffPelletier]

It's about 7 km with a little over 1,700 metres of elevation gain from the parking lot, which could take anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on your pace.

[@valentinofamilytv6797]

Which Mt is better to do?

[@JeffPelletier]

Mt Brunswick is my favourite, but Harvey is a little easier and less busy.

Hi Jeff do you have a gpx file of the route? Thanks.

It takes us just a couple of hours, but most should plan on closer to maybe 4 hours to reach the summit.
