Hi my friends & enemy 
After a discussion with my friend Guy and his girl friend I take the decision to go for Seymour.
We have a invitation from Alex and We know a other group of 3 peoples will go also for this peak.
With the pinpin's mobile car it was easy to go at the summer parking, tomorrow may be it will be a other story. But We have the Guy 4 runner Toyota to help us if We need!
At 8 o'clock, I check in the register fast and I think Alex group 2 + 3 other peoples + Junior and his friends = 8 = a piece of cake!!!
Deep snowshoes tracks around 12" from the parking to the juncion with the Calking trail, first surprise We lose a part of the team, only one or two peoples hiked in Seymour direction!!
We meet a man at the Blueberry lean to, and We find the end of the snowshoes tracks : now We know the real game will be here; in the red corner Junior and the in the black corner Seymour!! OK We are ready for the wrestling...
The 2,250 steps between the 2 lean to was not to bad the junior snowshoes down around 6".
The 500 next steps, the flat section do not make a trouble.
The next 1000 steps slow up section was a little bit difficult with a couple time 12 " deep.
The next 1000 steps moderate up section change the speed but little train go far (petrit train va loin)
The next 1000 steps hard up section was terrible, impossible to track directly We used the switchback option, try to past by brook bed but it was to steep. Slowly by slowly with go up little by little...
At this time the back side of my leg was have a constance sollicitation and I have the first symptome to cramp.
10 minutes later, I need to stop and massage my leg drink and eat (it is not usual for the Junior traveller) I have a hesitation go up or turn back.
I know I have probabely only the last 1000 steps but...!!!!????
Junior tell me Are You a mouse or a man?
Are You a young kid Ask for mamy kiss your pain?
Are You a legend or a uncognito man?
This last sentence hurt me , I remove my pack and slowly by slowly We go up with acouple of very difficult section where We need to make 3 steps for avance only one.
Finaly We arrived in the first flat part, at this time We know the cake is ready, few minute later We can see the small yellow disk in the Seymour summit.
Stat to go down meet Christine and Guy they are at 45 minutes to the summit but with a good determination.
Meet the same man at the same place of the morning, We speak with this nice gentleman worked hard a part of last night, to make snowshoes track from the parking to the lean to.
Thank You gentleman Anastahas for this chrismas gift. We retuened at the parkimg without memorable other action. We need 7 h 20 minutes round trip but every minute was longer of 60 secondes!!!!
Now We need only 42....
P.S. Very few places to park maybe 6 if the cars was correctly park!!
Take care for the car the road conditions will be very different after this day rain!!!
