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!

Conquering Flood Mountain: A Return to Grande Cache’s Iconic Peak

By Boris Bokov

June 28, 2025 – Flood Mountain, Grande Cache, Canada.

After a long absence, I finally returned to Flood Mountain—one of Grande Cache’s iconic Bronze Peaks—nineteen years after my last visit during the Canadian Death Race. This time, however, I wasn’t racing against the clock but hiking with friends, taking in the stunning alpine scenery, and reliving memories of past adventures. 

Midsummer Night albo Dziewice świętojańskie

A traditional celebration of the Midsummer Night or Noc Kupały lub Noc świętojańska was held in Edmonton by the members of the Club under the guiding hand of Bośnia Wojno.
