CANADA

After a short but turbulent flight up the Rockies we found ourselves at another car hire desk collecting another pimp 4x4. In Canada you need a big 4x4. The roads have continually been covered with snow and you need to be driving something large to hold out against the big rigs who are either flooring it of wheelspinning slowly uphill.

Hafner creek has been the project location so far. The biggest project has been ascending the snow covered, branched tree to get over an unfrozen pool. This line (first led by Malc) has almost claimed an axe and a climber. NB: Hafner Creek is the ailment that results from sitting astride this knobbly, frozen nighmare every day.
