Leading peak 755m- Anvil Island

There is a small island at Howe sound. Its steep lines are visible while driving to Squamish from hwy. Last year we did circumnavigation with Jakub :) and last weekend I have got this idea of bringing Janka to the highest point of the island- Leading peak. It is obvious you start the hike at sealevel, but the description from internet was little bit misleading. Expecting 755m elevation gain, my time estimate was 4 hours (5max). We started from Lions bay at 2.30pm which was as usual little late. It took us 6.5 hours to finish our trip at Porteau cove at 21.00 with Jakub and Elena waiting for us. 1055m elevation in the legs and 12km on the kayak was really nice. The trail well marked and the gorgeous views just for us. Janka said this was the nicest day since she has stepped on the Canadian ground. Maybe she forgot already about the day spent at CAN/US border to get the working permit :-o
