Thursday, January 13 Rambles in the Canadian Rockies - Golden

Denver Group Adventure Program

Kevin Craig has been climbing in the Canadian Rockies and Interior Ranges of British Columbia every summer since getting "hooked" on them in a CMC HAMS Class in 2001. In that time, he's climbed some classic peaks and routes (Mt. Victoria, Grassi Ridge, Mt. Sir Donald, Mt. Athabasca, Mt. Austerity, and oth-ers) with a variety of partners and guides in all kinds of weather. This year, he was part of the first commercial group to visit and engage in summer mountaineering out of the private Battle Abbey hut in British Columbia. Come hear about his Canadian adventures, the characters he's met, and share in viewing some of the most beautiful mountain scenery anywhere. You may also learn some of the ins and outs of arranging your own mountaineering adventures. Free and open to the public.
