East End of Wendell

So a couple weeks ago Scott and I joined a meetup group of other mountain scramblers to attempt the east end of wendell near Yam. It was an amazing hike, starting over a ridge on Yam and down into a valley and then up Wendell. Part of the path was covered in water so it was a bit of a challange keeping the feet dry. Further up the mountain was the exciting scree field, something I have never done before. Took some getting used to with the slipping and sliding and heading up is a bit of work. I made it halfway up the scree field before my legs decided i was done and had gone high enough. Found myself a safe perch and enjoyed the view while scott and the others continued up to the summit. On the way down, I found myself truly enjoying stepping and sliding down the scree field. It was almost like skiing down the slope and i had a blast. Then it was back down into the beautiful valley full of deep colours and warmth. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping and it was a great day had by all. not sure what the new few weeks hold for mountain adventures, but i have a craving to head out camping soon so hopefully thats next! we shall see. In July we are off to Ontario for a weekend and then Scotts dad is coming for 10 days so that should be fun, as well as going to the Folk Fest where tons of great bands are playing. Found out recently that Mother Mother and Tokyo Police Club are coming to the Calgary stampede, too bad its when we are away! If you haven't seen them yet, you should both bands are amazing live. high energy and great times.
