Victoria Peak and its satellite Warden Peak stand out significantly in the mid island between Gold River and Sayward, as there are no mountains of similar height in the immediate vicinity. The massif is the remnants of an old volcanic core and has some great climbing on it. The normal route, which I took, is not overly difficult, but has a small section rated at 5.4 that is the key to accessing the south face. Crampons, ice axe, harnesses, a rope and some slings aren't absolutely necessary, but made our trip a lot easier and safer. Some protection for the tricky bit makes it straightforward as there are good handholds. Once above the cliff band the rope and other gear aren't really necessary, but please do be careful on the summit. The west face drops a thousand feet or so right from the summit.
Access is either from the White River south of Sayward, or the Gold River, north of the town of Gold River. Logging roads from each drainage get up on the west side of the south ridge and trails lead up onto the ridge and then up to the snowfield at the bottom of the south face. I summitted on my second attempt after getting turned back in 2012 by clouds, wind, rain and lack of visibility. By contrast, our climb in 2013 was in ideal conditions. We had to park a few km from the W79 Trailhead as fresh falling of some of the last old growth blocked the road. We covered 23 km in 13.5 hours, with 1900 m of total ascent. A long day, but way worth it!
The cache is a small rubbermaid container containing only a logbook and pencil, in a ziploc bag. The summit has two large rocks, the westerly one seems slightly higher. They are about 3 m apart. To the east of these rocks is another slightly lower rock with a space underneath about 8" high. The cache is in that space, hidden from view by some small flat stones I placed around it and another stone on top of it, to hold it in place. Please rehide in a way that the container won't get blown away.
Enjoy!
