"Every mountaineer has favourite routes to which he or she invariably returns. They may be short, easy climbs which afford enjoyable introductions to beginners, or they may be annual classics which provide early-season conditioning. However, rare is the route which attracts distinguished climbers for repeated ascents throughout their careers. The long and difficult north face of Yosemite's Sentinel Rock is just such a route."

No matter what type of climbing you are into, you are assured to find countless venues to enjoy your sport. Ice, snow, mixed, alpine rock and cragging abound in fantastic numbers. Also, this is Europe, so do not count on humping big loads anywhere!

Simply take your day pack, catch a telepherique (gondola), hike for 10-15mins and start climbing.

Ski-Touring in B.C. by Norme Greene (Winter 1998/99)

The only cloud we experienced on our week ski tour from Fury Gap to Scar Mountain around Mt. Waddington rose from the fires we passed on our way from Williams Lake to Whitesaddle Air at Bluff Lake, our take off point. That smoke delayed us a day because the aircraft were busy fighting fires. Otherwise, we had perfect weather from May 4 through May 10 to ski and see the awesome coast ranges surrounding us.

Summer of 1997, ten members of the Toronto Section enjoyed a peak-bagging holiday in the St. Elias mountains of the Yukon. Our destination was the mighty Slaggard massif, site of Canada's last unclimbed peaks over 4,000m.

It is a little known fact that granite has strong magnetic properties. In fact, its attractive forces are strong enough to reach across 4500 km and seize the imagination of an Ontario-bound climber, drawing him back again and again. This, then, is a brief account of an ongoing affair between Mt. Slesse and some of the men who would climb it.
