Bagger Challenge is now generally open. All peaks on the list are open for baggage points.

Persevere. Bag. Jubilate. 

Still snow on many peaks: be careful out there! Bring proper equipment. Always bag with a buddy.

I'm looking for someone to act as event host for this year's Bill's Great Peak Ascent -- Sunday, July 29th -- as I will be out of town at that time.   If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Much appreciated.

Anne-Marie & I are signed up for the Meet Your Maker 50 Sept 1 & 2 in Whistler.  We were originally going to divide the distance in half but I injured myself a month ago and am just getting back to training.  So I can't ramp up to 30 mile shape in this short time.  We're looking for at least 2 more participants to join us.  Sign up deadline for relay teams is Aug 1st.  http://www.meetyourmaker50.com/race-info/schedule/

2 June 2012 - Slack Ass Start

My second peak of the year has been succesfully bagged. The snow is mostly gone above the last lookout (blink and you'll miss it...) and Lynn Peaking is as easy as it ever was. All that melted snow made for a couple nice mud pits along the way, and on the return trip I twisted my ankle as bad as I've ever twisted an ankle. Anyone have any intel on the sword and shield carved in the rock at the viewpoint?  

Here are the tracks for the Burnaby, Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam sections of the Trans Canada Trail.

hi! I'm new here to seek your canadian mountain running advice. can anyone suggest some challenging, remote, technical, fifty to one hundred km runs in BC? training for a big one has me bored of my Seattle area favorites.
