Fun day out with my old bud Kevin. We did alot of reminiscing about past experiences climbing the steep, technical face of Mount Yamnuska via a collage of different routes.  Temps in the high 20's C with a welcoming breeze to keep our 'out-of-shape' bodies cool :) Fun afternoon out in the mountains.

The famous Mount Yamnuska

Sweating like crazy!

View looking east towards Calgary.

The first step/crux of the traverse

Kev opting for the more exposed line!

Loving the fitness day!

Kimmer coming across the via-ferreta installed for everyone's safety

It's not as exposed and scary as it looks family!

Kimmer? you been working out??!!



No I just had my belly sucked in there! :)



See...? There it is!

Dropping down onto the west end of Yam

Looking back on the terrain we already covered

300 mm zoom back to the via-ferreta from the summit proper

Native lodge on lake??? can't remember, but it is very pretty.



Calgary, waaaaaaaaaaay in the distance yonder east



Great scree run!

We bombed down this scree run in a matter of seconds! Fun :)

The Pumpkin pitch on 'Unnamed'

Woo hoo! Scree run ahead!!!
