It's sure feels like it's taken me a while to go down the blog road for this trip. Well, lots has been going on since I returned: a two full day drive back, unpacking, repacking for the Red Rocks RDV, unpacking, repacking for the Goddesses on Rock Sterling Rope event in Joshua Tree, driving back to Vegas, flying to SLC on April 22nd, and picking my parents up that same night for their three week long stay with us. And while I was in Canada, Adam flew to Switzerland, took his advanced ski course in Chamonix, flew back, went to Red Rocks with me, drove back to SLC and then back to Vegas, took his advanced rock course and was back in SLC the day after my parents flew in. Not having spent much time in ... read more

I moved houses a couple of weeks ago into a nicer place with a cool couple called Al and Jamie. Al is such a Canadian and he certainly makes me giggle. Al has lived in Banff for 17 years and he used to plough the roads in the area. You probably couldn'e get a better tour guide for the day! We went for a boys day out in his huge Dodge Hemi. First we went to Lake Louise chateaux and its still frozen lake. A very impressive hotel on the lake which is highly regarded as one of the best places to stay in North America. Then we moved onto the Spiral Tunnels which I think is one of the most amazing pieces of engineering I have ever seen. The Trans Canadain Highway people decided ... read more

We arrived home from Lima at 11 am on Wednesday the 8th and left Vancouver on the morning of the 10th to drive to Revelstoke to make our helicopter flight into Fairy Meadows Hut. We won't bore you with the details, but the 48 hours that we spent in Vancouver may be the most productive (i.e. frantic) time in either of our lives. The transition from a nice warm and comfortable climate in South America to below freezing temps in the Northern Selkirks might sound like an odd choice for some folks, but we were both jumping for joy as we had yet to put in any turns this winter. We met several friends at the heli pad and some new folks that would be friends by weeks end. Our group of twenty included folks from ... read more
