Mt. Cheam with Lynn and Eric - East end of the Fraser Valley
 |
We took Eric to the top of Mt. Cheam again. It's a fantastic
viewpoint of the Fraser Valley as long as you can drive most
of the way up Chipmunk Creek.
While we were on the summit, a paraglider pilot jumped off
the north face and sailed away towards the Fraser River. That
must have been some rush getting airborn and going over the edge!
Eric would have been almost eight years old in this picture.
It was his third trip to the top.

The Squamish Chief
I was able to talk Eric into going on a hike with Chris Cooper
and his boys. We went up the back side of the Chief in Squamish.
Boy, how they have changed. :-)

Spearhead - Blackcomb - Decker
- Trorey
 |
I forget what precipitated it, but we found ourselves doing
some exploring in the Blackcomb - Spearhead area again. We didn't
plan to do the traverse, but we hoped to learn more about the
area and hopefully do the traverse eventually. Mainly it was
good to be out with good people and doing fun stuff.
What follows is a slightly edited version from Randy's journal..

"August 5-7, 1990 Keith, Ken, Randy
and Alan Gill rode the "Wizard" chairlift the vertical
mile form Blackcomb village to the top of 7th Heaven. Very pleasant
ride. Great weather. Casual scramble and snow walk to our camp
site east of Blackcombe - Spearhead col. All travel up glacier
towards Mt. Decker then Keith and Ken climbed Mt. Trory while
Al and Randy climbed Decker. |
|
|
Decker was an easy, plateau type summit. Back to camp late. Keith and Ken left next day while Al and I climbed (walked really) Blackcomb and Spearhead via small snow gully. Day three Al and Randy back to chairlift around 1:00 pm." |
