Długoletni członek naszego Klubu - Staszek Smuga - pisarz, komentator polityczny, felietonista, podróżnik i ogólnie "niespokojna dusza," uprzejmie zgodził się na wykorzystanie przez nas jego tekstu pt. "Róża Wiatrów," umieszczonego na Facebooku. Oto on:
With all this recent hype about Kilimanjaro I discovered that two other members of our club summitted this mountain in 2015. These are the most excellent Krzysztof and Basia Flis! This brings the number of our club members who stood on Mt. Kilimanjaro to 8. (All their pictures are here) How many outdoor clubs can match this number?
Mt. Burke, 2542 m, is a fine summit at the very south part of Kananaskis Park, with a very characteristic old Cameron Lookout on the top. It is perhaps because of its remoteness that the peak is not visited more often. It took us 1:15 hr from Kananaskis Wilderness Hostel to reach the trailhead, the last 16 km being on a gravel road. Access to Cataract Creek campground was closed, which added 2 km to our trip. Most of our GPSs showed around 14 km for forth and back trip, with around 890 m of altitude gain.
These lucky people took advantage of a wonderful day and a truly enjoyable trail: back row: Piotr, Roman, Adam and Monika. Front row: Andrzej, Beata, Asia, Honorata, Maya and Ania. Missing (taking picture as usual): Andy.

With great pleasure I announce that our colleagues, Gosia Stróżyk, Michał Trzecieski i Basia Walter ...

During my recent trip to BC I had a chance to hand over a couple of awards from the 2022 Photo-Competition. First, the award for being so pretty in the picture "Beauty So Perfectly Composed" was passed to:
