Very Wintery day on Northover Ridge today. Made it all the way to the crux but decided against going any further due ato all the drifting snow and the constantly changing weather. Great day regardless.

Saskatchewan River Crossing to Jasper
Fastpacked a section of the Great Divide Trail from Saskatchewan River Crossing to Jasper. Mostly solo, Leslie & Angela joined me to camp at Jonas Cutoff and again to run the whole Skyline Trail on the last day. Thank goodness cos it was a totally shite weather day and it ended up being lots of fun having people to share the silliness with.

Baker Lake Camping
I headed in solo on Thursday in 25 degree weather, pitched the tent and bagged Fossil Mountain before dark. 4 thunderstorms blew through in the night and it rained all morning. Got up at 11 just in time for Steve, Brenda & Leslie to arrive. That was about when the rain turned to snow. Brenda headed back nursing some post Western States pains. The rest of us ran into Skoki Lodge where Steve headed back cos he was smart enough to realize that camping in the snow isn't so much fun. Leslie & I carried on and visited Merlin Lakes and then headed out to Natural Bridge before heading back to camp and shivering over a late dinner. It snowed all night and all of the next day so when we got up we decided to hightail it back to Lake Louise and some real breakfast and coffee. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Castle Traverse
Attempt to traverse Castle Mountain from Rockbound Lake along the rock ledges to Mitella Lake, down Wonder Valley, up Redoubt Creek and out over Boulder Pass. Got turned back at Mitella Lake, the scramble down was technically possible but too exposed and not worth the risk. Next time bring rope.
