History

Although there was significant mining activity in the area of Della Lake and Big Interior Mountain prior to the 1950s, no record was made of any ascent of Nine Peaks. The first recorded ascent was by the Syd Watt's Alpine Club of Canada party in July 1955.[2]

Access

Adventurous hikers and mountaineers reach Nine Peaks from Della Lake. Two infrequently accessed routes to Della Lake are:

1. From the base of Della Falls, follow a faint route with bits of flagging up the left (south) side of the falls. The route is steep and mossy, requiring bush and branch climbing.

2. From Bedwell Lake, ascend Big Interior Mountain, cross over to its south summit (Marjorie's Load), and descend to the pass west of Della Lake.

gollark: Firecubez isn't very good *either* so I should be fine possibly.
gollark: Now that cyber has mentioned this, though, I *will* turn my highly limited reverse engineering skills toward haxxing their thing.
gollark: However, if I had just never mentioned it, potatOS's lack of (at that time) version control means nobody would actually notice until someone checked for whatever reason, and it would not have been reverse-engineered very fast.
gollark: When I said this, people immediately began to decompile and reverse engineer it.
gollark: For a few versions potatOS contained a DRMish blob hooked to incident reports, for example.
