Solo trip to get "something" as I've been spending too much time on-resort as of late

ski mountaineering

Blackcomb Peak & The Spearhead - January 29 2023

A nice sidecountry tour on a brisk (but clear) Sunday afternoon

ski mountaineering

Thar Peak (North Couloir) - January 21 2023

Avy conditions were pretty bomber so we decided to go for a "cooler" summit, and Thar's North Couloir was our objective of choice. Much fun and chaos ensued

hiking

Watts Summit and Nightmare Rock (Murrin Park) - January 9 2022

An unexpected road closure forced me into making a last-minute plan, so I made the best of it and went trashbagging at Murrin Lake

After suffering from severe peak withdrawal, I headed out this Friday to fix that

hiking

Volcán Miravalles - December 14 2022

A vacation can't stop me from bagging peaks. In this case, it actually meant bagging an ultra instead!

hiking

Cougar Ridge - December 7 2022

A final pre-work peak before I head out for vacation

hiking

Rolie Polie Olie (Rolley Peak) - December 4, 2022

Not the peak we planned, but the peak we deserved?

A couple of failures culminating in a "consolation peak"

ski mountaineering

Metal Dome - November 5 2022

Revenge from springtime when I tried going up the "bad" way. Also the first "real" skiing of the season :)

hiking

Lynn Peak - November 23 2022

(supposedly) quick pre-work hike since I had to drive down to the North Shore to see the doctor anyway. gotta be efficient!

hiking

Empetrum Peak - October 22 2022

Just Cinder Cone would be a boring and inefficient day, so I decided to tack on Empetrum Peak as well

hiking

Cinder Cone - October 22 2022

A casual solo hike I didn't even have to wake up early for!

scrambling

Mount Weart (Armchair Traverse) - October 16 2022

The second half of the Armchair Traverse, with much scrambling, a forest fire, dark descents, glaciers, and unmapped lakes, even. All sorts of fun on this one 😅

hiking

Mount Cook (Armchair Traverse) - October 16 2022

Peak #1 of the Armchair Traverse. Not as much fun as the next half, but a good peak to check off the list nonetheless

trashbagging

One Mile Lake Hill - October 10 2022

Final trash peak of Thanksgiving Monday

trashbagging

Mount Fraser Southern Peaks - October 10 2022

After some navigational errors and a late lunch in Pemberton, we decided to scope out the

scrambling

Mount Robie Reid - October 8 2022

A long slog with a ton of elevation gain, but great views and great friends to share them with. Also lots of fun scrambling!

hiking

Birkenhead Peak - October 2 2022

An ultra, some new friends, 3 peaks, a fantastic road taking us up to 1900m... what's not to like?

scrambling

Coquihalla Mountain - September 30 2022

Not quite the triple-bag we hoped for, but we did take a rather unique route, and a p600m peak is still nice to check off

scrambling

Black Tusk - September 25 2022

A failed attempt at the very rare true summit, but a fun hike nonetheless
