2023 Photo-Competition - Awards Ceremony

 

"Hiking above the clouds" - by Mike Trzecieski

The Awards Ceremony for our 11th Photo-Competition was the best ever. It was attended by about 40 people, both current and aspiring Club members. Great thanks to Polish Heritage Society of Edmonton for arranging the venue and to Polish Cultural Society for sponsoring wine and snacks. As usual, great thanks to Yanek Wojcik for preparing the slides and films presentation. 

The picture above won the Grand Prix and the title of "Best picture of 2023 Mountain Season." It was taken by Mike Trzecieski during his climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak of Africa, last year. This is how I justified this award:

These are Torres del Paine in Chile, and Perito Moreno and Los Glaciers (Fitzroy) in Argentina.

• Bogdan Kulik
• Beata and Andrzej Jędrych
• Bożena and Jacek Maciaszczyk (all Edmonton)

Icy Allstone Ridge on New Year's Eve 2023

31 December 2023

A courageous group of the members of Polish Men and Women Mountaineering Club of Edmonton scaled Allstone Ridge in Clearwater County, Alberta, Canada, on the last day of 2023. Here is the film document of their effort involving some risky situations on the icy trail, anticommercial about ice clits, wild wolf howling with a bit of Serbian accent, and some sexy singing for the President (of the Club, myself that is) in Marylin Monroe style! 

Don't miss it!
