by Dave McCormickFrom July 21 to 26, the Section held its Summer Mountaineering Camp, this year at the Peyto Hut on the Wapta Icefield.
Every imaginable weather accompanied us during the week, from rain to snow to solar furnace.
A total of 18 participants, some new to any kind of mountaineering, spent the week learning and practicing knots, rope techniques, safe glacier travel practices and putting it all to use by leading rope teams and climbing many of the peaks in the vicinity of the Hut.
We expect more stories to be posted here in the coming days and more pictures posted to the Camp's photo album, located here.
A good time was had by all.
