Two Peaks but no Camera

I don't know why, but I never brought my camera on two trips I did this week.
I did the Indian Ridge, Marmot Pass route with Tracey, Dieter three dogs. The weather was beyond perfect, no clouds, Mount Robson visible and so on. Dieter had a camera so I'll get his and post a few. By the way... fall colours are now at their peak!
Saturday, Neil and I climbed Peveril Peak. This was our second time each climbing this gem of a mountain. As Neil explained: "We climbed this peak, just down the road from our homes". I really wanted to climb this mountain again so that I could lead a few pitches, in fact I lead the entire mountain except for the first pitch. This is a technical peak, our route was off from the standard route following a slightly more difficult crack system. We both agreed the route we chose was a steady 5.6 climb. The weather was gorgeous... 25'C and pure blue skies... I really wish I had a camera for this one. We were fast, reached the summit by 11:15 am (start at 6 am) and off the mountain by 2 pm (we spent an hour at the summit).

Coming up.... Athabasca Pass photos... finally!
