Write Up:
We weren't the Calgary Outdoor Club going up the trail today... we were the Calgary Outdoor MOB. With Matt's group of 14 ahead of us, followed by my group of 27... whoa! The scenery once you get up to the start of the ridge was absolutely to die for, with the mountains sprinkled with just a bit of fresh snow.

Duncan had a bit of a scare up at the top when he joined what he thought was part of a COC group, even confirming it verbally (they must not have been able to understand his strong Scottish brogue... note sarcasm... Duncan's accent is quite mild), only to have them "remind" him a time later that "his group" would be quite far gone by then. So, then trying to return to us, he got lost on the ridge and wandered around for a while, and had an unfortunate "crampon incident" resulting in a fall, before he finally found us (happily waiting for him) again.

A very interesting and fun group out today...
