Ha Ling Peak after work

The sun is hanging out for long enough now that it’s not too hard to fit in a Ha Ling Peak hike after work – although a run of cold weather and some precipitation means that everything is pretty snow covered. But no evil ice patches! Also no bears. Just the usual hoards of chattering squirrels, and some crazy cloud action.

 

Still snowy as we cross the final scree slope

 

 

From the summit, looking down to Canmore – weird light and weird cloud layers, and some nasty weather lurking around

 

 

Heading back down again

 

 

Surprisingly warm up there – barely a breeze blowing (and a huge tummy)

 

(5th Ha Ling ascent for 2010… it feels like more somehow)

Happy Mother’s Day Megan :) looking great! 5th ascent for the year, wow! I wonder what the record is? :)

Katya: Thanks :) I even got breakfast in bed (if having a muesli bar brought to your sleeping bag counts, I figure it does). And there are some crazy people who seem to always be running up it, so there’s probably a really silly record – but seeing as it’s the easiest mountain hike near home, and one I’m totally happy doing on my own, I’ll probably be doing it a fair few more times over the next few months.

Roger: Well, I do have enormous stomach bones. And I’d probably been eating cake as well.
