Fairly flat trip but mostly avi risk free excursion with Wietse and Vern.  In the trees most of the way and in the shade until close to the end of the valley. High point on trail in 30 to 40 min- could ditch skins if have wax or scales.   Hour and 15 to 1st bridge and [...]

  Short hike/scramble in Oct.  Windy. Pictures here Kidd Lookout   Full screen slide is best.

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 [...]

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. [...]

Mary Barclay’s Mtn. Early in his illustrious climbing [...]

Note full size pic here Simpson to Sunshine Routes Headed out with Scott and Wietse to do Circuit – Healy Pass to Egypt Lake and out by Red Earth Creek trail. New snow/trail breaking slowed us down a bit and no tracks beyond Healy Pass so we decided to just ski back down Healy creek [...]

Dec 30 Wietse and I decided to do Chic Scott’s trip in reverse. Note all pics are Wietse’s – Thanks. I had unsuccessfully looked for this route before so I was not sure of the down route and thought it might be easier to find the route through the cliffs from below.  We got lucky [...]
