climbing Mount Whitney, California
UPDATE: Just posted over 100 photos of the hike.
I was for a few seconds the highest man in America when I stood atop Mt. Whitney.
Mount Whitney – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mt Whitney is the highest point in the contiguous United States at elevation 14,505ft (4,421m). It’s just 76mi (123km) west of the lowest point in North America, in Death Valley (282ft (86m) below sea level), and rises over 2mi above the valley floor.

10 years after failing to summit Storm Mountain, Ray returned and would not be denied. Only 3 of the 8 hikers who started got to the top, including Ray. But it was a tough day for all. Ray was reminded that the descent is much more dangerous on a scramble than the climb.

I missed the big trip. Looks like they got some RAIN in the Canadian Rockies.

walking Saskatchewan Glacier
I’m not sure how I got talked into it — but the Glaser boys convinced me to put on crampons and harness to walk atop a melting, receding glacier in the Canadian Rockies. It requires a lot more gear and hassle than regular hiking.
Walking the glacier was pretty cool, actually. But the hike in was even better.

hiking above Chephren Lake
I had never heard of Waterfowl Lakes Campground, 57km north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies.
It seems to be mainly populated with visitors from Germany and Austria.
If you are car camping this is a good choice.
We camped beside pretty Mistaya River close to the hiking trailhead. Though the walk in was longer than we wanted, we had great fun playing in the snow fields and waterfalls above the lake.

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
The photogenic Teton Range extends from Jackson Hole, Wyoming 40mi (65km) in an impressive sweep.
We did just one dayhike off the Jenny Lake boat — and wished we had enough time for the Teton Crest trail.
The highlight of the Tetons for us was cycling the Park and taking photos of Bison. We’ve posted 24 pictures on Flickr.
video & photos – climbing Crowsnest
UPDATE – added photos from the climb to Flickr
Scott Whiteside organized 6 hikers to scramble his favourite mountain in the Crowsnest Pass. We needed no climbing gear but be warned there are a few tricky spots on this mountain.
We took our time spending almost 8hrs on the adventure. All returned unscathed — except for 1 thumb squashed by a falling rock. Rock fall is the biggest danger when scrambling the rotten Rockies.
For evidence that we actually reached the summit, click PLAY on the video below or watch the clip on YouTube.
