My wife and I did some alpine mountaineering this weekend. We backpacked 15k into the wilderness and summited a set of twin peaks called the Golden Ears, NorthEast of Vancouver B.C.

Yesterday morning, this is where we woke up:

The late-summer early-morning snow is hard and frozen, so an ice ax and crampons are required for this kind of alpine snow travel.

hahaha! Thanks Scott, sorry you fell to your death. Yeah I had to share the photos! It was such a great trip! Kind of hard to believe that was a simple weekend hike not far from Vancouver!
