After coming back from Africa, we went through Calgary for a few days before coming back to work. Drove up to the Columbia Icefield, stopping by Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The next day we went to Gap Mountain, a nice scramble with views of Kananaskis Lakes and Highwood Pass. On the weekend we went into the Ghost and climbed Macadamia, one of my favourite climbs there. Sadly I was battling a pretty bad cold the whole time, but we still got out!
