Outdoor Year 2014 Summary

No bigger trips this year as we traveled home 3 times to visit friends&family and to attend 2 weddings. One was ours! :) We are now married couple and we were still able to have many great weekend adventures. We got better and learned more about backcountry skiing, I got to sleep in a snowcave in backcountry (thanks Andy for being there with me), I cross-country skied solo with an overnight on frozen Howse River and we slowly started with trad-climbing And, we finally hiked Mt.Temple. I have also great memories for the Upper Bow River run on K2 with Zuzka. The section around Hector Lake is pristine and we did not have much information when running it.




In 2015 the goal is to not give up winter camping, climb some multi-trad routes and visit Alaska again.
