Cancelled on the ski trip as -30C in Banff so went for a hike in Sheep area. 4 ish hour RT with Dave and Wietse.

Minus 20 C at park lot but was sunny and – 5C by time we hit the ridge so felt like we stole a day weather wise.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Aug 23 – Good hike but turned back at lake by scare with an eye problem.  No big deal but was good to be sure.

Sept 1 – Successful trip. Nice scramble and now there is a reasonable trail up gully. clouds all the way to top but opened up for some views.
