Pulpit Peak

Crossing the divide we met Brian, Shannon, Ross, Deanna, and Valerie at Lagans in Lake Louise after a night of car camping in Golden. It was great to see Brian who is now living in Yellowknife. Heading north on a very slippery highway 93 brought us to the south end of Hector Lake and a first look at the shoulder of Pulpit Peak.



Ambling across the lake in the sunshine we remarked on a first for us: warm temperatures and good snow in the Rockies!



Val's encyclopaedic knowledge of the area had us on top before long. Our usual late start didn't leave much time so after a quick bite it was skins off and down we went. Here are Brian and Brenda enjoying the run.





Following this up with pints and dinner at the Post Hotel it was a grand day out.
