It’s 4:30am and I’m getting the gear together for the 16 hr drive to Banff to climb Mt Thompson. At 5 I’ll pick up one of the other guys and we’ll go to transfer to the convertible at 5:30am for the top down road trip. I’m stoked.

Early morning Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo I was up sort of early this morning, not quite early enough to catch the sunrise, but definitely some nice calm quiet time to do some reading down a the dock.
