On saturday July 29 I went to hike those peak. I start at 5:00 am
with my headlamp, at around 5:30 am I see a moose about 30 feets
in front of me on the side of the gale river trail. I was not sure if it was
a moose or a bear but it was big. I stop and the moose get away and I
was very happy. I continued and hike very fast until Galehead hut and
went to Galehead Mtn. At the summit at 7:10 am and in the fog, no view.
I went down and took a break at the hut. At 7:45 am I start to hike for
South Twin, step hike that I like to be in. At S Twin at 8:20 and no view,
in the fog again. I continued to N Twin and again in the fog, I returned to
S Twin and the fog had disapear and very good view. A short break and
continued for the Bonds. Very windy at Guyot summit, step hike to west
Bonds. At the summit I see another hiker who hike the 3 Bonds from the
Lincoln Wood. Good view at the summit of Bonds and Bondscliff. That small
mountain was so impressive that I went for it very fast. Good view at the
summits of Bonds and Bondscliff. At the summit of Bondscliff the sky start
to be very dark so I return fast to Bonds-Guyot. Very windy at Guyot, long
return to S Twin (3rd time at that summit in the same day). At 3:15 pm I
was back at S Twin and took a 15 minutes break. After I went down and
the big rocks where very wet and slippery. At the hut I fill my water bottle,
a short break and went to the trail head (Gale river ). I finish at 6:00 pm.
Very long day (24 miles,11 summits, 6000 feet ascent) but not as tough
that the Presidential traverse and the Great Range in the Daks.

On the sunday I went hiking with Dave,Don and Dinet from Boston. We
hike the tripyramide peak. I done North and Middle tripyramide peak, going
up on the north slide (never done a slide that tough and slippery) and down
by the Scaure ridge. 5 minutes before finish on sunday I see dog or a coyotte
in the strawberry plant near the trail. He went away and stop and look at me, I am not sure of what is it because it was the size of a dog and it was golden. Did some body loose a dog in the livermore trail near Hgw 112. :)
 
Bravo Réjean!

Encore une fois tout un marathon pour toi. Si tu continue comme ça tu vas être drôlement en forme pour l'hiver prochain. Je pourrai plus te suivre.

Amitiés,
Pierre
