The climb to the Golden Hinde

At the end of August, Scott MacKenzie and myself made a seven day trip to climb to the top of the Golden Hinde (7,500 ft) in Strathcona Park here on Vancouver Island. I quickly discovered that it was a bit more of a challenge than I had anticipated. I found myself a little over my head a couple of times but Scott was there to bail me out. It was great to have him with me as he inspired me to dig just a little deeper within myself to overcome the challenges.

This was a great warm up to our upcoming expedition to Nepal to climb Mt Everest to base camp.
