Took us 3.25hrs up and 3.75hrs down, with only a few minutes rest each way, going a moderate, but steady pace up and a relaxed pace back down. Altogether, we were away from the car for 8.5hrs. Spent 1.5hrs on the summit. We were the only ones doing Brunswick, but there was a group bound for a different destination. I'd say the scramble is easy, but with a bit of moderate exposure. Not enough too scare off anyone that had made it that far. Only a few remnants of the last snowfall, nothing worth worrying about. I could see some snow on the north aspect of other mountains though and there was a fair bit down in the bowl. Might be worth writing down which way to turn at the trail junctions. Most are marked, but I can't remember if they all were. Trail is in good shape, only one or two trees down and well marked, except right near the top, where there's a loose slope that doesn't have a well defined trail, but you shouldn't get lost. Views of Mount Baker, the Lions, Tantalus, Garibaldi, Vancouver Island, and I think the Golden Ears as well, plus a few other notables. The trail is well graded for about halfway, then it gets quite steep.
