Stenhouse Sunday

December 4, 2011   

Today despite the mist we decided it was a good day to head out to Stenhouse which is a peak I have wanted to climb since we got here. Only one more to go in the travel area before I have summitted all of them! Les, James, Kalinka, Rob and myself had a great walk and were given some glimpses of the wonderful view a few bits at a time. Not a hard peak to climb even though initially it looked like it was going to be.


The gully on the way down was mud/scree on a large slab which made for a fast ascent if you were not careful. As I was the last in line there was pretty much a slick surface to make my way down!

Back in time for a sauna, some buttermilk biscuits (which I was craving for some reason), a haircut and still enough time to clean my room before dinner and a movie. Only one weekend left 🙁 my departure is coming quickly. Hopefully before I leave I will get to put up the christmas ornaments at the church and make my gingerbread house to leave on base for everyone to smash on christmas day.

Hope you all had a great weekend.
