Cultus Klatawa: Conquering the Castlecrag Circuit

http://cultusklatawa-ca.blogspot.com/2014/11/time-continually-twists-our-perceptions.html

Excursions through life along Canada's west coast. Friday, November 21, 2014. Conquering the Castlecrag Circuit. Time continually twists our perceptions of the past. Looking back, we uncover insecurities, worse writing and great memories. The following is post-dated from an Aug. 2010 hike on the Castlecrag Circuit in Vancouver Island's Strathcona Provincial Park. Earlier this year, I had the chance to revisit the area during a multi-day search for Sylvia Apps. And a short weekend trip. I longed for the h...

Cultus Klatawa: April 2014

http://cultusklatawa-ca.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Excursions through life along Canada's west coast. Tuesday, April 8, 2014. Start on the gong: Salt Spring trail running is born. I was definitely pumped to be in second place five minutes into Saturday’s inaugural Salt Spring Trail Runners race at Channel Ridge. 8220;So this is what it feels like to be at the front the pack,” I thought. Then the climbing began. Otto cruised ahead. The well-conditioned flitted into their rightful positions. I contemplated hitting the wall. 8220;How are you doing? Dave Mel...

Cultus Klatawa: Lost and found

http://cultusklatawa-ca.blogspot.com/2015/07/lost-and-found.html

Excursions through life along Canada's west coast. Friday, July 10, 2015. Mt Tom Taylor, July 2015. It always feels funny to strap on a pack loaded with climbing gear and walk on the ferry to Vancouver Island. So many inquisitive looks and recurring queries about my ice axe and snow pickets. Even in winter there are times when fellow passengers bid me good luck in my quest for snow. It’s out there, I assure them; you just have to climb high enough. But hadn’t crossed paths in the years since. I...I fille...

Cultus Klatawa: September 2013

http://cultusklatawa-ca.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Excursions through life along Canada's west coast. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Into the heart of southern Stratcona: Part two. For part one. We awoke before dawn on day two, hitting the trail by a few minutes after 7 o'clock. We came across a water source fewer than five minutes farther along the ridge. Ten minutes later, the water looked even better. Within about 90 minutes, we were sipping fresh snow melt off the rocks. Looking over the lower Cliffe Glacier. Along Harmston's South-East Ridge. Another m...

Cultus Klatawa: September 2012

http://cultusklatawa-ca.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Excursions through life along Canada's west coast. Friday, September 21, 2012. Sick day: Midweek foray to 50-40 Peak. With a sunny and hot high pressure system permanently parked over much of Vancouver Island this month, it was only a matter of time before something was going to give. In my case, an invitation to hike 50-40 Peak. Apparently, the effects of bathing in the forest air showed some positive effects in enough studies that, in the early eighties, the Forest Agency of Japan recommended regular j...

Cultus Klatawa: February 2013

http://cultusklatawa-ca.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Excursions through life along Canada's west coast. Thursday, February 7, 2013. The local hill: a walk up Mt. Erskine. The view from the top can offer an inspiring view at any time of year. Salt Spring Island offers a handful of local-mountain contenders. Mine is Mt. Erskine. A rocky outcrop that overlooks a good stretch of the island's eastern shoreline, some Gulf Islands to the north and the busy little pulp mill town of Crofton, B.C. Foggy scene on the way to the summit. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
