Scott MacKenzie and myself set out to conquer the Golden Hinde in Stratcona Park in late August of 2009. A seven day adventure that was a precursor to our climb up Everest in October. The trip was my first real experience at mountain climbing and carrying a pack of about 50 lbs or so. I had an incredible time 95% of the time with the other 5% felt wondering what the hell am I doing here?
I was a bit over my head in a few situations ... climbing down vertical drops that I am sure are reserved for people with ropes or mountain goats. However, Scott was there to bail me out and to inspire confidence in myself. Thanks Scott for being there for me!
We climbed about 10 hours a day... a little less some days a little more on others. It was exhausting but in a good way . The way that comes with a real satisfaction at having accomplished what you did. The scenery was spectacular. Enjoy the pictures...they are just a few of many spectacular pictures that Scott took.
