The Friendship-breaker

TrevorSexsmith — Mon, 22 Sep 2014 06:00:43 +0000

Hewitt Peak, the friend-breaker, as I explained to Ryan last weekend. A long, brutal bushwhack to a south facing gulley on a peak that doesn’t have a lot of name cred and then all the way back out. Sure to break a friendship. So it was another solo trip for me. I woke up at … Continue reading The Friendship-breaker →

Olive Hut Summer Shred

TrevorSexsmith — Thu, 07 Aug 2014 05:14:00 +0000

This weekend I wanted to ski North Star Peak in the Purcells. For the longest time I was going to bushwhack straight up the North Star Glacier drainage creek, but then I learned of a hut nearby and started to think, maybe I can ski more than just North Star for the day. I was … Continue reading Olive Hut Summer Shred →

Mt. Athabasca/ Silverhorn

TrevorSexsmith — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:44:00 +0000

Yee haw! My first 11’er, Mt. Athabasca. Might as well wait till July to get it done, eh? After the summit, a 1000m descent via the Silverhorn. Out the door at 1:30am , hiking up the moraine at 4am. I searched long and hard for the fabled climbers lot and found something that looked close … Continue reading Mt. Athabasca/ Silverhorn →

Anniversary Peak

Don’t know why it’s taking so long for me to get around to actually writing this, but here goes. This weekend’s objective: Anniversary Peak in the Bugaboos, spotted during last weekend’s activities from Mt. Mollison. The day started early; after a restless sleep due to the seemingly neverending heat, I was actually relieved to get … Continue reading Anniversary Peak →

Still Got The Touch

TrevorSexsmith — Mon, 07 Jul 2014 04:33:00 +0000

June came and went really fast, it seems. Foster Peak took all the weather windows I had for the month. I wanted one more gnarly line to finish off the spring before firn snow skipping for the rest of the summer. The West Face of Foster beckoned and I was powerless to resist. At 3200m … Continue reading Still Got The Touch →

Clamshell Corn

TrevorSexsmith — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 17:26:00 +0000

OK, so no super-gnar lines full of uncertainty and cruxes this time, just a straightforward ski that I’ve done a couple times already. My mom came out from Ontario for the weekend, so I intended to just skip skiing this time and make up for it later but the forecast was just looking too damn … Continue reading Clamshell Corn →

Tumbling Mountain

TrevorSexsmith — Sat, 31 May 2014 22:48:00 +0000

After weeks of getting skunked by poor freezes, finally conditions line up perfect and a big line gets skied. Most likely a first descent. I first noticed this while lounging about at the top of 3/3.5 couloir (commonly called 3/4) at Moraine Lake last year, waiting for the snow to soften up for descent. I … Continue reading Tumbling Mountain →
