Rock climbing and outdoor adventure
|
| |
| | |
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | Flew to Canada and packed a Jeep as full as humanly possible |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | They headed first to Squamish to climb run out slabs (3 bolts in 40m!) |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | ...some truly gnarly cracks |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | and some truly gruesome laybacks |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | They then drove North for three days to the edge of the Artic Circle... |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | ...took a pair of floatplanes with canoes strapped to the side... |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | ...and then walked for two days carrying several rucksacks each |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | Much bushwacking and swearing was involved |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | But it was worth it to arrive at the bottom of the breathtakingl Lotus Flower Tower |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | They got caught in storms |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | and also rather precocious rucksacks! |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | They got stranded without food... |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | ...and had to swim swollen meltwater to find their canoes |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | They finally found some canoes and began their paddle |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | Negotiating Virginia Falls along the way (twice the height of Niagara Falls) |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | They got stuck in horrendous mud |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | And wilted on the river in the sun |
|
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | | But eventually made it back to civilisation with big fat smiles! |
