2011 Reflection

I've been reflecting on 2011 and the incredible adventures I've been on over the past 12 months. After cross country skiing virtually every weekend until spring, the warmer weather allowed me to tackle a few peaks and adventures. Here is a tally of my journeys over the past 12 months:

- Prairie Mountain: 5 summits
- Heart Mountain: 5 summits
- Powderface ridge: 3 summits
- Yamnuska: 3 summits
- Moose Mountain: 3 summits
- Mount Allan: 2 summits
- Fairview Mountain Summit
- Grotto Mountain Summit
- Lady MacDonald Summit
- Ha Ling Summit
- Mount Collembola Summit
- Northover Ridge Route
- Lake O'hara Alpine Routes (all in 1 day)
- Victoria Marathon
- Maroma Beach to Puerto Adventuras Mexican Beach Running Marathon
- Devi'ls Thumb
- Lake Minnewanka to Warden's Cabin + Alymer Pass
- Rawson Lake 2 visits
- Cox Hill
- Jumpinpound Ridge
- Three Isle Lake
- Burstall Pass
- Bourgeau Lake
- Calgary to Cochrane & Return
- 20-25 x-country ski days

So many miles on the ol' truck. So many mental (and physical!) snap shots. Although Northover ridge was insane, my day in the Lake O'hara valley was hands down one of the best days of my life.

Trips on my bucket list for the year:
- Healy Pass to Eohippus/ Talc/ Egypt Lakes
- Bryant Creek to Lake Magog
- Mystic Pass
- Haige Glacier/ Turbine Canyon
- Circumnavigate the Iceline

Bring on 2012!

About Me

Since I tend to spill my drink when moving at high speeds, I combine just two of my addictions: running and photography. I travel heavy with thousands of dollars of equipment in a $30 running backpack. That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the stupidity I get into while fumbling around in my majestic backyard.
