Abbott Hut/Mount Victoria/Neil's Birthday






Wow... the highlight of my summer so far.

For Neil's birthday we decided to stay at the historic Abbott Pass hut, located on a narrow col between Mounts Victoria and Lefroy and just below 3000m. Awesome trip that rquired us to access the hut via Lake O'hara in Yoho National Park... my new favourite place. We then ascended an aweful 700 m scree slope with a lot of falling rock hazard. The plan was to climb Victoria and then Lefroy on our day out. Lefroy was not in any shape to be climbed... gross, dangerous and unpleasant. Victoria though, well she was beautiful. Below are pictures from the trip.
