Back from Canada

Well, got back from Canada a few weeks ago. Due to weather, no summits. However, I did manage to key things. First. I had fun. We got in three days of climbing out of five in the area. The first day we made an attempt on Mt. Andromeda via the normal route (Grade I-II). Which the glacial ice fall defeated us (twice).
Followed by an attempt at Mt. Edith Cavell via the East Ridge (5.2). We made it to about 9000' before poor snow and ice conditions turned us back. Friday we attempt at Mt. Temple via the normal route. (Grade I). Again about 9000'+ we turned back. The following pic basically sums up my thoughts on the conditions on Mt. Temple.

The second key thing was learning. I learned a lot and I cannot wait to go back into the moutains. Hopefully sooner then later.
