Plan A for September 23 was to go rock climbing, trad climbing;
alpine if the weather allowed us back to an unfinished route or a valley crag.
Well my buddy went sport climbing on Sunday the 22nd and took a lead fall and injured his
hand and wrist. Glad he wasn’t seriously hurt but he couldn’t climb today.
Sigh. We went for a hike, poor guy couldn’t even hold a pole, so feet only.

"Burstall Slabs" climbing crag.
I will climb there one day... been thinking of trying that for decades... |

We
settled on “Snow Peak” beside Burstall Pass. Good hike in blustery weather,
lots of high winds and a wee bit of snow. Lots of snow on Mt. Sir Douglas. Some
nice larches. A casual 6 hours car to car. A relaxing day. Hopefully more
outdoor rock before ice climbing.
