Not so little Mt. Little Hector

Mt. Little Hector, 3125 m, moderate scrambling, +1260 m, 9-10 hours. 

On 24 of July 2022, a brave group of the members of the Club, namely Boris Bokov, Andrzej Jędrych, Roman Lipiecki (Leader), Zbyszek Pławski, Gennady Sergeyev and Piotr Zieliński summited Mt. Little Hector in Banff National Park. This film, by Boris Bokov, gives the impression of this effort. Congratulations, guys! Tough climb! (PR)

Boris Bokov added this narration to the film, from the point of view of convalescent (he suffered knee injury last year). Check it out! 

I have done a lot since December 21 and have been hiking since April. The hikes were easy;
perhaps I could call the “biggest” hike in this year, Mt. Louie a moderate one, as it was wet and
slippery. Ever since then, I was excited about extending the level of climbing difficulty. Little Hector was going to be somewhat different.

Full Monty (almost) in Arnica Lake

 1 August 2021


Having extended, and in some cases over-extended, ourselves the previous day on Emerald Peak and Mount Carnarvon, we opted for something "leisury" - a hike to Arnica Lake, the distance of around 9.6 km (return), with the altitude gain/loss of +760/-200.

Mount Rundle, 2949 m.


Mount Rundle (2949 m) is a prominent mountain above Banff, easily seen from the Banff Hot Springs. It is considered an easy scramble, with 1570 m of altitude gain. In other words it is a "wyrypa" (a grueling experience).

Cascade Mountain, 2998 m.

Saturday, 2018-09-01.


In 2009, while passing through the national jewel of Canada - Banff National Park, and documenting undeniable charms of my sexy wife, I couldn't not notice the impressive mountain in her background. This is Cascade Mountain, one of the iconic mountains of Canada, featuring prominently in almost all postcards from Banff.

Castle Mountain - pierwsze czeskie wejście?

2018-07-28.

Castle Mountain, 2766 m, +1300 m, 28 km tam i z powrotem.


Zaliczywszy wycof w zeszłym roku, z powodu późnej pory, honorny Michał zorganizował kolejną wyprawę na Castle Mountain. Pomimo, że wiązało się do z dodatkowym dojazdem (100 km z Kananaskis Hostel), nie udało się odwieść Michała od tego projektu. Z czego by się pokazywało, że jak się Polak zaweźmie, to swojego dopnie.

Kanion Johnstona (Banff)

5 Wrzesień 2016


W ostatni dzień wycieczki zwykle jedziemy się trochę zregenerować do Gorących Źródeł Banff. Tym razem jednak Harpagony Klubowe zadecydowały, że taki dzień byłby "niepełny" i że musimy jeszcze gdzieś pójść. Wybór padł na położony w pobliżu Banff Kanion Johnstona.
