sepultura Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Trip: Wapta Icefield - Date: 1/2/2010 Trip Report: Here are some pictures of my latest trip to the Wapta Icefields in BC and AB. As usual it was a great experience with typical winter weather in the Rockies. Although we got weathered off of Mt. Balfour, we summitted Mt. Olive and Mt. Baker (that’s the other Mt. Baker) in two separate trips. At some point I am going to have to do a full Wapta traverse and get all the peaks I have not picked away at, maybe this spring. Thanks to my great friends and climbing partners, Demitri G, Carlos B, and Michelle G for the stellar trips and hosting me again in Canmore. And thanks to Gail for a great day on Coire Dubh Inte’grale on Loder Peak in Exshaw. And thanks to the ACC for the privilege of staying in The Bow, Peyto, and Balfour huts. Its good thing we do not have huts in the Cascades, just think what a zoo Boston Basin would be. Peyto hut Carlos(the Master) storm brewing on Mt.

AlpineK Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nice pictures I went in a couple times in the 80s to do that traverse. We barely got any views of St Nicholas since our trips were during sketchy weather, and we never made it past the peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Awesome trip Scott! Wish I could have been there to enjoy the scenery and the company. Next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therunningdog Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Damn, that looks like fun. Curious, how many chainsaws did you bring along on this trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'll bet: 2 more than the number of handguns, 1 more than the number of Bud sixers, and the same as the number of women Scott brought. Four years has been too long, I need to go back. So Purty! -JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
