Weekend Warriors
Finally got back to Nordegg to unwind, visit with Brent at Shunda Creek Hostel and break out the climbing gear. It was too cold to climb on Saturday, so we upped the ante and visited a glacier. Sunday saw saw rocking 5.4s as we introduced a n00b to the awesome sport of being scared spitless…
Good times on the Columbia icefields…
She started on a 5.6 and by the time she hit the 5.5 at Hogwarts, it was old hat!
All in all, a great weekend featuring 4 bears, 1 elk, many sheep and many, many, many deer. Co-starring a bbq’d pizza, red wine and an unplanned tomato salad.

The family by one of the Whirlpool Point pines. These are some of the oldest trees in Alberta…somewhere around 1,100 years.

Is it her?
Who could the mysterious shadowy figure be? Will the mystery be revealed? Will she ever look at her pictures? Just what is she looking at? Is the sky falling? Why is she stealing Chicken Little’s schtick? Is this the hidden dark side much alluded to? Are her lips really that red? Why is this filed under Climbing?
The answer to these and many more inane questions may never be revealed on this site…but then again…
