Short hike/scramble in Oct. Windy. Pictures here Kidd Lookout Full screen slide is best. Drove down to Waterton for a great bike and hike on the last warm day of the year with Dave Salahub and Brian and Elaine Hunter. Went up the well constructed hike trail versus Andrew’s scramble route as the scramble to scree ratio looked way too low. Beautiful day – great views. Nachos and beer at Twin [...] Tore myself away from work for a great two day trip with Dow into the Little Yoho. Hut was booked so we just took bivy sacks and stayed at campground. Weather was fantastic – hardly saw a cloud. Great in depth conversations on wide variety of topics. First day into campground, drop gear and then went [...] Successful climb/scramble of the NE ridge with Wietse and Scott. This is a long day as it took us 13 hours car to car. We took the shortcut direct to the ridge from the Taylor lake trail junction which saved about 1 hour and were on top in about 7 hours including lunches and [...] Wietse and I went up the SouthWest shortcut route(Non Kane route) on Mount Redoubt on Sat. Bob Spirko (and Marta) have a good writeup (see website/photo page tab at top) and pictures on the route and we were met on top of the mountain by a guy who did it by this route in 1996 [...] Window , Allison and Turtle Well actually we(kevin, Wietse and I) only did Turtle as a consolation prize as unbelievably there was too much steep snow on the slopes below Window and some of us only had running shoes. Bring boots, axe and probably crampons if planning on Window in the next 2- 3 weeks. [...] Not to be confused with Fisher Peak in Kananaskis See Fisher Kananaskis Went to Moyie Lake for my Mom’s 80th birthday clebration. Was to continue to USA but forgot passports so stayed around lake a few extra days and got talked into an attempt on Fisher. Too much snow given I only [...] A good short early season training type day. Bike approach from Nakiska road worked well- 6.5 km vs 8.8 km from barrier dam. I will let Kevin Papke tell this one. Well our good friend Scott has finally accomplished a goal he set out to 30 yrs ago. Mary Barclay’s Mtn. Early in his illustrious climbing [...] Quick trip on Sunday for exercise with Kevin and Lars. A little over 2 hours up – 1.5 down. Some snow in trees and patches on Loder. Rest of mountains look very white. Drove down to Mt kidd and not much looks dry but lots of cars at Baldy and Wasootch peak. Nakiska runs still [...] Quick run down to Waterton to escape the snow. Good call as Sofa was mostly dry. Good trail from road. Some nice scrambling through rockbands on ridge. 7 hr RT. Pics at Sofa |
