Final Summary

On the Saturday evening we had a sing song and dramatic performance by several members. We had experienced a superb week at the Elizabeth Parker Hut at Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park. We had great weather and only twice were there sprinkles of rain. Several members did amazing climbs. Abbot Pass, Mount Lefroy 3423 Meters (nearly), Oesa Glacier, Yukness Mountain, Opabin Glacier (I think), Mount Schaffer, Odaroy summit, and Consummation Peak. I may have not recorded all. On the last evening David A informed everyone that two days before he had had his 79th birthday so we sang "Happy Birthday". For me, two years younger, David A and I hiked the same routes each day and for the week we hiked 85.9 KM and climbed 4612 Meters (15,131.23 feet) for an average of 12 Km and 659 Meters (2,162 feet) per day. I would like to thank all the members for their great company and particularly Cedric who made all the arrangements for this week.
