Priorities and Procrastinations

As University takes priority over my adventures for now, I have not taken many trips lately. This next post of pictures was a hike we went on to blow off some of that university stress that builds up. Procrastination at its best is how I would describe it.
























Although the time for trips has decreased as the year is ending, a new year will begin. As a heads up to keep checking out the blog every once in a while I can ensure some great trips to follow me on. Next year a number of trips are already planed including a week of Ice Climbing, Ski touring with helicopter access, a 17-day rock climbing expedition in California and we are aiming for at least 20 major mountaineering summits in 2011. Stay tuned, for an adventurous year ahead.

Mt Temple 11,624 feet 14/10/2010

The location and elevation make Mount Temple the most visible of all the 11,000 foot mountains in the canadian Rockies. It is the second highest peak in the Banff National Park and the 11th highest in the Canadian Rockies.







This is the view from lake Louise













































Due to off season conditions our approach to the base of the mountain was an extra 13 km making our summit day 17 hours long.
