Shunda Creek Camp 2024

 

Shunda Creek Camp, which took place between 2nd and 5th of August, was attended by 15 persons. A lot happened, starting with Piotr Zielinski (pictured) and Roman Lipiecki scaling Mount Ernest Ross Via Ferrata, which is considered to be one of the most difficult in Canada. It involves negotiating a 7 meter long overhang, which Piotr, in the picture, is about to begin. More of the pictures from their adventure can be found here.

31 December 2023

A courageous group of the members of Polish Men and Women Mountaineering Club of Edmonton scaled Allstone Ridge in Clearwater County, Alberta, Canada, on the last day of 2023. Here is the film document of their effort involving some risky situations on the icy trail, anticommercial about ice clits, wild wolf howling with a bit of Serbian accent, and some sexy singing for the President (of the Club, myself that is) in Marylin Monroe style!
