Canada

My wife Jackie and I are just back from 7 weeks in Canada where we stayed with daughter Amy in Vancouver – and got Covid. The featured image shows a beuatiful mountain which I cannot name! It is in the Assisinboine area, I asked the purveyors of ‘levitational assistance’ gifted to us by Amy and sister Katie but they did not know. I am awaiting a response from the Alpine Club of Canada but perhaps there is a RC Member who knows……… It was interesting to find at Lake Louise the statue commemorating the Swiss Guides brought across to develop mountain tourism. The link persists in the little town of Field which came into being as a base for workers building the rail route over the Kicking Horse Pass. They lost a couple of trains because of the gradient and Spiral Tunnels were constructed to reduce the incline. Two other photos show Jackie suspended below the Garibaldi Peaks above Squamish (I climbed there back in the day) and Sulphur Mountain above Banff which has an intersting history as the site of a Weather and Cosmic Ray Station. I wonder if admission of ‘levitational assistance’ could lead to Club disciplinary proceedings……?Anyway, now to hit ‘submit’ and see what happens………………….
