I hiked that trail on August 10, 2019, and after coming down from the summit I bivvied on the shoulder of Habrich just below the sugar-lump shaped granite summit. Coincidentally the night I slept up there was the same night the Sea-to-Sky Gondola was first cut.

The trail to the summit of Habrich starts at the gondola station, and for several kilometres follows a broad ridgeline which is overgrown and has several steep and rocky ups and downs. The path through was labyrinthine and marked by ribbon, not obvious, and I had to do some hunting around and doubling back to find my way up and down through the treacherous 4th class sections.

There was an abundance of blueberries, I stopped to snack at several blueberry patches. I was stuffing my face with blueberries. In addition to descending the wrong side of the mountain Poor Stanislov missed out on the all blueberries as well it seems.
