Ski at Pulpit Peak

The first yoyo skiing of the season at an outlier of Pulpit Peak. It was nice powder and had fun. After all yoyo maybe isn't as bad as I think.

GR805317 Attempt

I cannot believe how stupid I was not brining my snowshoes… My second attempt to Phillipps Peak was complete failure.

Buchanan Ridge East Peak

New Year scramble at Buchanan Ridge in Waterton again!! Man it's so dry this year, it was more like late September condition.

My New PC

Santa gave me new PC after I gave him $1500. Fast and quite. I have to say for sure this is the best PC I ever owned.

Rest of 2011

Another year is gone. I didn't update much of non-mountain related episodes this year did I? This goes back from May to Dec.

Cirque Peak Outlier

Another week of trying to see sunset at a summit. This time I picked Cirque Peak outlier on Icefields Parkway. Unfortunately…

Fairview Mountain 11

No matter how many times you see sunrise or sunset, you will always be moved by its beauty. That was what I was looking for at Fairview Mountain…

Rawson Ridge Attempt

Skiing up to Rawson Ridge, well I tired. It wasn't too bad for my first skiing this season… maybe… actually it was quite bad. I fall 5 times…

Tent Ridge

Little cold but under beautiful sky, I went for a mid-long hike at Tent Ridge in KC. Climate wise, and snow wise, winter is almost there.

Storm Mountain (Banff)

Late start + dead falls + slog up rubble + snow + high peak = evening scrambling at Storm Mountain in Banff. It's fun to do evening hike every once in a while.

Mount Astley NE Peak

Another complete miss. Some reason I am unable to go to Mount Astley. But still another great day and great view in the Rockies.

Mount Charles Stewart South Peak

Oh how much I enjoy seeing Canmore from summits… Despite it's only a sub peak of Mount Charles Stewart, length of the trip was a full trip.

Ochre Spring Peak

Return to GR576724 with a different route. This time I made it to the summit without a problem. I nicknamed this unnamed peak, "Ochre Spring Peak".

Mount Remus

Solo scrambling at Remus. Guessing the weather was little difficult this weekend but I picked a good peak. I had blue sky all day.

Helena Ridge to Stuart Knob

View became superb after the never-ending approach trail. Seeing this uniquely shaped range and peaks around Castle should be in "must list".

Elbow Four Peak Traverse

The famous big traverse of Mt. Glasgow – Mt. Cornwall – Outlaw Peak – Banded Peak. Oh man it was so awesome. Worth the suffering.

Mount Erickson

Erickson was one of the peaks I kept my eyes on for early or late season. After the dump of snow it was the time to switch my gear to easier ascent.

Chinook Peak Attempt

I estimated Rockies got a foot of snow but there were far more than that. Perhaps there was enough snow to cause avalanches at Flathead Range.
