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 …
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…
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! 😉

The weather this past bank holiday has been amazing in the Lake District. In fact the whole of the North West has been enjoying a prolonged period of settled sunny weather. 😀 Especially nice that, in an unusual turn around of the normal way of things, the South East has been getting rained on. 😉
We’re recently back from a couple of weeks in France, what an amazing (and weird?) series of spring weather conditions we had though…
