"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

North Face routeHave climbed the North Face route twice with Ian Hunt. Our first ascent in 1997 we were joined by Scott Brewster.

Aberdeen GlacierGreat route indeed. Tons of fun and an amazing view from the summit. The descent through Paradise Valley is a very long slog though. Unfortunately there was very little snow left in the descent gully for us to glissade. Great memories nevertheless.

Aberdeen GlacierA fantastic outing and welcome back to Canada ice with Joana and Jayson. Smooth as silk, party we passed having troubles, but don't know exactly why. Can't believe so many make the col and opt out of Haddo, it was a short walk? The descent was gnarly, with the bridges decommissioned over Paradise Creek....Jo and I both almost lost our footing and Jayson saved the day. Incredible butt slide on descent. Good times all around...
