Been a busy week with groups on Mount Fay & Little, climbing out of the Neil Colgan Hut, a Sport Climbing 101 Course, a group of 6 successful summiteers’ on Mount Temple, a day of cragging and here I sit, beer in hand, after guiding an ascent of the North East Ridge of Ha Ling with 4 of my favorite folks from Saskatoon. Tired is a reasonable descriptor for how I feel right now, given I've been getting over a cold this week. Nice to be feeling like I'm finally on the mend.

We're super psyched to have recently partnered up with Alpine Threadworks as Ambassadors and Product Testers for their lines of custom sewn mountain products. Clean, Functional and Durable has long been what our Guides look for in their packs and we're pumped to be able to work with the owner and chief designer, Neil Warren, on a line up of products you'll be seeing us put through their paces on our future programs. Cloud Nine Guides will also be providing demos of many of the packs in the Alpine Threadworks line up so that you can try before you purchase on any of our programs.
