"Great weather for May Long Weekend, but I didn't want to travel too far from home. The objective was the East Peak of Mt. Wendell, I decided to add Yamnuska on my way out of the valley... It was a beautiful day afterall. All recent snow is gone from the main routes on both mountains, with some remaining after the chains on Yam. The hike approach to Wendell was straight forward, but required some bushwhacking as i kept loosing the trails i was following. The creek was low, so easy enough to hop across a few stones. I didn't go up the ascent gully, but instead bashed scree between slab outcrops. It wasn't too bad... already forgotten. The ridge was easy and longer than i anticipated. There are some great views from up here, considering it's in the front range. All in all, a great day in the mountains." — ivo • May 22, 2022

"Beautiful day on the Columbia Icefeild. Took the South Ridge up, up the Athabaskan Icefall through the middle ramp. Stopped short of the NE summit due to a combination of cornices, avalanche hazard, incoming cloud and time. Zipped down the sérac route. Busy day on the icefield!" — apfelstrudel • May 21, 2022

"Went with Bert and Kate on a coolish and snowy adventure up The Orphan, which is a new peak for Bert and I. Kate had done it and Middle Sister a few years ago. There is no way you'd want to do Middle Sister in the current conditions. We were lucky it was cool and overcast while we were out. There was a point where it got very sunny and warm and we were glad to be on the drier, slabby section than on the one deeper slope. All in all a good outing and still some day left to chill afterwards!" — leigh-annewebster • May 21, 2022

"Went with Simon. We got lucky with a good crust and didn't even bring the snowshoes. We also found the better trail on the way up after some steeper bushwhacking. Totally worth the effort for those views and the perspective. Highly recommended." — leigh-annewebster • Apr 30, 2022
