Front row: Marek, Barbara, Roman. Taking picture: Andy.

We started the hike to the Eagle Mountain, 5 km east of Nordegg, as a whole group of 11 participants. The hike is considered to be hard. It has 15.1 km with  844 m of altitude gain. 

White Goat Falls (Nordegg)

 

... is short hike (3.1 km, +180 m) 45 km west of Nordegg. The Relaxed Group, consisting of Bożenna, Marianna, and this writer, did it on 3 August "just to stretch our legs." The hike was not without some challenges and overall quite rewarding ...

... as the falls happened to be quite picturesque.

Aconcagua, 6962 m

 9 February 2025

With a bit of delay, nevertheless with great pride, we inform that on 9 February 2025 one of our members, Piotr Zielinski, summitted Aconcagua, the highest mountain of the Americas and the highest mountain outside of the Himalayas, thus setting the Club's record. 

We hope that Piotr will find time to write a bit about this adventure. In the meantime, he sent a few pictures we share with our visitors. 

From Barrier Lake to Tuktoyaktuk

 13 July 2025

After unwinding the challenges of Yamnuska at the fire place the previous night, not without the help of alcohol, a good portion of our group opted for a slow day - a walk along Barrier Lake. 

Yamnuska (2025)

 12 July 2025

Yamnuska is a "cultish" mountain in Bow Valley, near Canmore. Long-time Mecca of climbers, predominantly from Calgary, Yamnuska is also popular with scramblers (those willing to do the whole traverse of Yamnuska) and hikers (those finishing the hike at Raven's End). 

Yamnuska is so attractive that the song related to it has become the Club's anthem.  Not surprisingly, this time Yamnuska was visited by over 20 members of our Club, including the cream of it - all these beautiful women!
