Well, I guess as far as things go you could call this weekend epic.... We started out with 6 people and even before we got to the bushwhack three had already dropped out due to physical exhaustion or an inability to keep to the scheduled meet-up time from a previous day's summit of Mount Cline or from not getting along due to something that happened on that trip.... We were supposed to meet at 3:30 A.M. at my place and we didn't even hear from the other three until 9:37 pm the previous night, when I wanted to be asleep... So at about 10:30 pm the three remaining amigos had figured out gear, etc. From there, we slept and all met on time. Bert wanted to go to McDonalds and they were so slow.... didn't actually leave Calgary until 4 A.M. Now, as far as the trip went, it sucked except the part from the bivy to the summit of Stanley and back. The rest was a miserable off-trail bushwhack hell from which I may never recover. We started hiking at 6:09 A.M. and arrived at the bivy about 8 hours later, set up camp, got water, and departed for Stanley at about 2:45 pm I think. Summitted just before 8 P.M. and got back to bivy around 11:30 P.M. or so with some fun hiking out with headlamps on. Bert was knackered and had a really rough time on Stanley and I didn't think I could do the full Beatrice-Ball then hike out with the mountaineering boots and big pack without physically damaging myself, so we opted to just sleep in a bit while Doug got up at around 3:30 A.M. and went for it. On the way out I bonked and my feet burned. I lost a nice merino wool shirt, my sunglasses and my eye glasses.... sux.. It didn't matter whether it was downhill, sidehilling.. rubbing / chaffing ... my feet burned with every step so that it took longer to hike out than it took to hike in!!! That bad. If I go back, it'll be with a small pack, water filter and NOT mountaineering boots. Still mad about this. Made me think about retiring from scrambling it was so bad. Give me a day or two and I will be fine I bet LOL.
