2025 Season Opener - Sulphur Skyline

 19 May 2025

Nancy and Barbara nearing the summit, followed by Gaggi.

Old Fort Point with the Sirens

Being quite spent after Roche Bonhomme the previous day, I opted for an easier day. 5 km long, with 120 m altitude gain Old Fort Point trail appeared perfect. For this trip I was joined by Three Sirens - Ania, Dusia and Bosnia - or to be precise, by two Sirens and one Sex Bombshell!

Tonquin and Eremite Valleys, Mt. Clitoris, or three days in the mud.

Hearing that some of our club members haven't seen the Ramparts, the iconic rock formation of Canada, which I first saw on a poster shortly after immigrating to this country, I decided to organize a trip to Tonquin Valley. I was lucky to book 6 spots in Wates-Gibson Hut, about 5 kilometers from the Ramparts. Myself I visited Tonquin Valley in 1993. This is not an easy hike - about 16 kilometers long (my GPS showing over 18 km to Wates-Gibson) and you have to carry food and everything for 2-3 days.

Knowing that "personal hygiene" may be problematic in the following days, with my companions - Roman, Teresa, Ken, Asia and Mike - we did preventatively a bit of "water purification" in Miette Hot Springs on Friday, 2 August.
