wake up to low cloud cover and high humidity. So Pete and I spent the day climbing at Grassi lakes and then off to Mt. Baldy in Kananaskis Country. Cold damp morning climb but a great hike up Baldy with great views and nice weather for the trip.
bad weather foiled Jeff and i's attempt on victoria North. We made it to just below the col but the weather was teling us to retreat from the hill. Another great day in the mountains with a good friend.
Mt. Hector still off in the distance, waits for the summit party on route. This is Little Hector.
Had to stick to the rocks as the snow was super soft due to the really warm, no hot, weather
There was some awesome avalanche action coming off of Little Hector all day. We sat and watched a size 1 come off this face while we had lunch. A long way still to go...
The slog on and on and on and on and on and on...
Almost there now...
Some how it got turned to B/W but they still made for good pic's. This me just below the summit pyramid. This is right below the summit and the last picture my camera made. Dead batteries so no summit picture. Pete got one of me so I will post that later.
I have been climbing since 1992/93 or so. I starting out on outdoor rock then into the gym and started to compete on the youth team. I climbed in Squamish,BC and in the Coast Mountains growing up. At 16, I got my first "big" summit, Mt.Wedge 9500' via The North Arete. I now live in Calgary, AB and have been climbing in the Rockies ever since 2004. In it's self a long time dream come true. I feel the most freedom when I'm climbing and it makes all the hard work worth it. Never stop! SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT !!!! LEAVE NO TRACE!!! TAKE ONLY PICTURES, LEAVE ONLY FOOT PRINTS. I hope you enjoy my story... This is my climbing Log.
