the shultz gambit: Spearhead with the rascalz
http://theshultzgambit.blogspot.com/2015/03/spearhead-with-rascalz.html
When its time to go, you go. Sunday, March 01, 2015. Spearhead with the rascalz. In a word, superb. Felix, Julian, Scotty, Chris Courtenay and yours truly. With this group we were poised for a great day out in the high alpine. Dropping down onto the Trorey Glacier. Lone wolf in the white room. Felix and the windlip. About to do the last big climb up around Fitz. Good times going down Whirlwind. Thanks to the boys for a great day out! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

the shultz gambit: April 2013
http://theshultzgambit.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
When its time to go, you go. Thursday, April 11, 2013. Shudder and Tremor Glaciers. I've been wanting to check out these glaciers for a couple of years, if you consider the Spearhead remote, then these would probably be the 'remotest' in the range. If not, well its just a really cool place to check out and guess what; you get to ski some of the longest runs in the area if you so choose. On the Pattison bootpack. Gaining the mini summit over looking the Shudder Glacier. Dreamy turns down the Shudder.

When its time to go, you go. Friday, May 02, 2014. Neve in a day or 'NIAD'. Had a great day with friends on the classic Garibaldi Neve Traverse. Took us approx 'a long time', we had trail breaking through most of the high country and some 'heat' in the alpine. Even had some whiteout downhill roped skiing through the gariblaldi ice fall. Great day! Thanks Jasmin and Scotty. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Neve in a day or NIAD. Picture Window template. Powered by Blogger.

When its time to go, you go. Thursday, March 19, 2015. On our second day, we were up for a longer day, namely a peak called The Galleon in the Babine Range - A classic tour in the Smithers area and highly recommended if you are into a nice tour to a beautiful valley and peak. The NW face of the Galleon holds many really nice couloirs. Some of the terrain leading up. Thanks Julian and Chris for a great trip, skiing and company. Sunday, March 01, 2015. Spearhead with the rascalz. In a word, superb.

http://theshultzgambit.blogspot.com/2015/01/squeeze-day-duffey.html
When its time to go, you go. Thursday, January 22, 2015. Squeeze the Day - Duffey. Had a couple of great days recently with friends, leaving and returning to the house in the dark, smiling and stoked. If this is the mantra for 2015 so be it. We headed to a familiar zone the other day and spent some time on the N, NE aspects lapping the alpine above 1700m. Nice 200-350 m shots in well settled snow. Some nice windpress on the access ridge this day. Scoping out the options of entry into the main zone.

When its time to go, you go. Sunday, December 08, 2013. Had a great time skiing and touring with Linda, John and Ryan over two days lately up in the Diamondhead area of Garibaldi Prov. Park. Just a bunch of fun skiing with friends in the scalding cold, blue skies and remarkable beauty of the Coast Range. Skinning up to the Gargoyles. Great preserved and slightly windpressed pow on the SE fave of the Gargoyles. Wind pressed POW is my second favorite kind of pow.I love some good wind press.

the shultz gambit: Chilcotin perrenial
http://theshultzgambit.blogspot.com/2014/08/chilcotin-perrenial.html
When its time to go, you go. Saturday, August 30, 2014. 3 days of food in the Patagonia Ascentionist 25, rode great and was the perfect pack for this mission. Our departure was 1 hr late as the winds had reversed directions this day, causing the pilot to taxi down lakes and then return for take off, doubling the efforts. The pilot said it was his second week here.Jamie shows concern. Crossing creeks is a Chilcotin mainstay. Down into Paradise Valley. Out for a rip bud. Jamie's 'coffee please' expression.
