Ghost River Wilderness

Monday, 20th March 2017

We made two and a half trips in to the Ghost River Wilderness area… Rob and Pete made the first trip in to the South Ghost to visit Wicked Wanda. Although we ran away from the top section fearing that some of the wet and poorly formed 10 metre long hanging daggers of ice might …

Parties & Rest Days

Monday, 20th March 2017

Laetitia took a few more rest days than normal as part of her recovery. She did enjoy a very indulgent salmon and cream cheese bagel on one of her rest days – although she made up for the calories by then going to the excellent Canmore swimming pool at the Elevation Place! Sorry no pictures, …

Lake Louise

Monday, 20th March 2017

We made two visits to Lake Louise Falls! (Well actually it was three! On the first trip to Lake Louise we had arrived at the car parking when Laetitia realised she’d left her boots back in Canmore. So we drove home and back again!) Laetitia and Pete made the first visit on the second day …

Field – Carlsberg Column & Circus Circus

Monday, 20th March 2017

We had a couple of days in the Field area despite the high avalanche danger! We’d heard that Circus Circus, a rarely formed classic route, was in good condition. Then, after the Park Service had done some avalanche control on Mount Denis, we stole a day on Carlsberg Column…

Johnston Canyon

Monday, 20th March 2017

We also visited another easily accessed and close by (to Canmore) venue, Johnston Canyon… Pete Frost dropped his crampons on the walk out – so if anyone finds them you know where to get in touch … comments below! 😉

Grotto Canyon

Monday, 20th March 2017

After a ten year break (!) we returned to Canada to get stuck in to some of what is likely the world’s best ice climbing… The trip was advertised as a joint Alpine Club and Climbers’ Club meet. But there was a surprisingly low take up, just 5 of the 9 available spaces were taken. …

NHL – Calgary Flames vs Montreal Canadiens

Monday, 20th March 2017

Many years ago I used to play ice hockey in Oxford, for the the Oxford City Stars, and I have thought of making a trip to see the Calgary Flames play at the Saddledome every time we have visited Canmore. Calgary is only an hour away from Canmore and finally, after 10 years of thinking …
