Needle Peak in Summer - August 24

Due to lots of paragliding (and parawaiting), we haven't done much hiking all summer. Finally the forecast was so bad for the valley that I could convince Pete to leave the wing in the car for one day.


Needle is the highest point to the right



Sampling berries on the way up.


Pete scrambling up the summit block. Flatiron Mt in the back.


On Needle summit. Yak Peak right above my head




You can see the front of dark clouds approaching but we were lucky and got off the granit slaps before it started raining.

Tatshenshini - August 4 to 12 (13..14..)

Still haven't managed to sort through the pictures. This is the problem with memory cards getting so cheap now. And with taking several cameras on the trip.

But the report and pictures will be up as soon as the rain starts to fall on the Westcoast. (And before it turns to fluffy pow.)
