Canada – Day5 – Rest day aka location scouting
A bit different schedule than usually today – instead packing up early for climbing we decided to take a day off and do some research on the Ghost River area. It’s a very remote place- around 2h drive from Canmore. Details here: http://www.summitpost.org/south-ghost-climbs/291125 The Ghost was established in 1967 on the front range of the Canadian…

Canada – Day4 – Lake Louise Falls – WI4
Yet another epic day – completely different than yesterday, when we were pretty much done by lunch time. Today we got up as usual at 7am, I made my famous eggs and bacon, and by 9.30 we were gearing up at the car park. Lake Louise is based around 1h drive from Canmore. From Canada2016-Day04-LakeLouise The…

Canada – Day3 – Grotto Canyon Falls – WI3
Easy ground. Short drive, short walking. Good WI3 2 pitch climbing – I led both, boys followed, and then free solo’ed. From Canada2016-Day03-GrottoCanyon Place is set in amazing canyon – you walk up frozen river for around 2km. While it’s relatively safe, and a popular destination for tourists and climbers alike even easy…

Canada – Arrival and first climbing- Moonlight Falls WI4

Mount Etna Exursion
Unfortunately we didn’t make it on time (got late by 20 mins – drove there for 4 hours!) to go with an expedition to the very top of that magnificent volcano. 2800m is the highest they’ll let you go without a guide. Anyway – here it is (click on the photo to open the gallery):

Xmas time
This year (as in 2011) we’ve decided to spend the Xmas time with Monika’s family. That was the best idea EVER. We’ve spent fantastic time skiing, meeting friends and having a good time in general. Also we became godparents to little Tomasz – Monika’s sister son. 🙂 Skiing was the super awesome idea –…
