Heading towards Crowfoot. |
| Ski mountaineering: Some friends of a friend,
Doug and Nancy, invited me along for this trip. Another fellow came
along as well as their roommate at the time; that's when I met Fab. We
spent the night at Bow hut. I remember how calm it was as we stood
outside by nightfall. The following day the weather was beautiful, we
headed back down from the hut and stashed sleeping bag and extra gear
near a big boulder before starting our ascent towards Crowfoot. We
traveled roped up, the route was fairly straightforward. We left our
skis below the summit ridge and walked a short distance to the top. The
view is awesome, we were able to fully enjoy it; the clear, calm
weather was a blessing. On the way down we had great turns in nice loose snow; bonus! This trip is one to remember. |
