On the third day, we went into the Sorcerer with Jason, making a party of 3... a very fun social day, apart from the deep snow which made the approach take 50% longer than it should. After this, we took a much-needed rest day (primarily to catch up on sleep)... we really wanted to go to Banff and climb some of the bigger climbs there (I wanted to check out Sea of Vapors), but the avalanche danger was not cooperating, so we had to stick to simple terrain. As a result, we ended up going to Whiteman Falls in Kananaskis (I am losing count of how many times I've been there!), which was actually in tough shape necessitating a lot of cleaning (aka dozens of swings to get a stick). The final day was spent in Haffner Creek. :)

When Melissa arrived, the weather became very cold again... which limited our options. We went to Evan Thomas on Saturday to climb Moonlight, and shockingly were the only party there! Maybe the chilly weather scared everyone away? :) On the walk out, we ran into the resident giant moose... which was fantastic - what a cool animal! :)
