Sunday Stroll

November 6, 2011   


Winter has gone and the scree is back! Using muscles we haven’t used all winter. This is James up ahead of me with Rob ahead of him trying to get up to Minden peak from Echo Pass side.


The two Base Commanders resting at the rock we had lunch at. Les and I were behind having passed the 30 year old mark a while back!


At 2320 with a great view to Lyell Glacier and 3320.


The initial 2320 Minden peak trip expanded while we were out as it was such a beautiful day to 17km and four peaks! After Minden, an unnamed peak to the South, 2320 we crossed glacier col and climbed another peak to the East of Glacier Col following it’s ridge along to Penguin river. We crossed Penguin River (above picture) getting a little wet in the process and then climbed up Brown Mountain coming down the same way as the half marathon. From there it was to the museum for a quick stop to eat cheese cake. As it was Sunday evening we had movie night and watched Frozen Planet but not before I had a sauna and a bath. A great weekend all in all.
