Congratulations! Great trip report. Wish we had been there!

Thanks everybody! We got just got back home yesterday. I will be sorting out my notes and pictures over the weekend and will post a detailed trip report. I must say it was a wonderful experience! Good luck to Frodo, Arm and Mountaingirl who are attempting the Polish Glacier route later this...

Tom, Nat and I are definitely interested but cannot confirm until we return from Argentina. If the place fills up before, we'll just make different sleeping arrangement and meet up at the trailhead. :)

Well, if Timmus and Stevenk are each buying a round. I'm definitely going to be there. :D :) Timmus, you have plenty of time to call your bank and have your card limit increased. Anybody got the GPS coordinates for the pub? ;) Just kidding!

I should be able to swing it unless work gets in the way. I'd say odds are 60-40 for now. :p

Great report, Tom! It seems a lot of reports this week have the terms "attempt" or "abort" in the title. It was tough conditions out there. Looking forward to using the snowshoes next weekend. :D :p

Dory, It's that time of year where we all have to carry a whole bunch of gear that we might not necessarly use because we can get just about any weather conditions. I would recommand bringing snowshoes, crampons and be prepared for winter conditions. Once you get on site you can always leave the...

Great report! It's definitely time to carry the snowshoes. Nathalie and I carried backpacks up the Lake Arnold trail on Saturday and decided to turn back at the lake because of all the postholing. We were heading for the Feldspar leanto and we had only brought crampons. Live and learn.

Well done Fred! Welcome to the club. Sorry Nat and I could not be there. Good thing Spongebob wasn't there for your hike, he would have slowed you done. :D

Salut Pinpin, long time since we heard from you. Thanks for the update! Crampons are in my pack! :D

Has anybody here used this water treatment system? Considering buying one and don't know if this is just another gadget. Would like to get some feedback from people who currently use this.

Ditto! :D P.S. What the heck are we all doing in front of a computer on a Friday night? :p

For those you looking for new lists ideas...you can take your pick here: http://www.peakbagger.com/listindx.aspx :D :p :) :D :p ;)

Don't worry Tom! There won't be any rain in our winter hikes...just 7 ft deep spruce traps. :p Indeed Neil, we will have something to celebrate tonight. Congrats to you, by the way, you sure pick a nice peak to finish on. P.S. I almost forgot to formally thank Dawn for the champagne and...

I think it's the same mouse that established temporary residence in your car. It happened to a friend of mine last year. Took her 6 weeks to find where it was hidding.

Thanks everybody! We had a grand time (especially with the water crossings). Like Poison Ivy said, we'll definitely have to go back on a clear day. Thanks to all the friends who joined us on this special day: hikethe115, bonnie, nancy, arm, skimom, donna, spongebob, swamp, bob, sir edmund...

Like Neil, Nathalie and I will be there around 7pm.

They do serve food there. Pizza and wings. Nothing fancy. For the coordinates, I'm having a hard time squeezing those darn C batteries in my Garmin GPS. :D

If you interested in the Torngats here's a link to a 3 part documentary from a research expedition in the area. It's in french but at least you can watch the spectacular pictures of the mountain range. http://www.radio-canada.ca/actualite/v2/decouverte/niveau2_4023.shtml# Scroll down to the...
