I have no idea about Kim’s dad, but I don’t doubt it, actually, I don’t doubt any of that stuff. I heard what I heard through “a friend”, so of course I could be wrong, I can’t say nuthin for certain, does anyone have any facts? All’s I know is that Will Gadd was born and bred to scramble up choss, yes, but he ain’t 39 no more either, he he. Best of luck boys, best of luck.

a) When Mordecai Richler did a reading some years ago in Calgary, he was informed of the Chinaman’s Peak/Ha Ling name controversy. Somebody asked him if we could perhaps name the peak after him, and he said “Only if you name it Kike’s Peak.”

b) I think Kim Csizmazia’s Dad did 4 mountains on his 75th birthday– Sonnie’s 2 and 2 others, can’t remember the names. BTW I have no idea how to spell Czismazia. So the true goal is not to kick Will Gadd’s ass, but to kick Will’s wife’s dad’s ass in 40 years.

Hey Sonnie, judging by Will G’s website it’s on! Your race could make a cool one hour reality t.v. spot. Better start pounding the three peaks trail.

Yeah, any motherfucker who has issues with coffee and tobacco is a bro of mine; export A or canadian classic blue?
A bottle of red and a couple of blues–fuck the status quo, I can’t wait to cross paths with you.

Hiking is boring as shit (well sometimes shitting can be funny,) no adrenaline, the pace puts my mind in the past–fuck the past, hardcores need to make things happen–ascend to a higher level than the boring ass shit most condsider to be meaningful–ahh the glory of destroyed self esteem (speaking for myself) high angle adventure, or draw the shades and make something artistic, or make some fucking money…

Hey Gus,

Wasn’t it Ben Firths dad? Mr.Firth? Not Mr.Gadd? And I believe he also linked up Mount Rundle as well, not just lady Mac. 4 peaks in a day. WOW. For sure those guys are my hero’s. Anyone know how long it took? Respect.

Dude,

Ben Gadd did the same link up but threw in Lady Mac just for kicks.

Oh yeah, he did it on his 50th birthday!

OHHHH SNAP!!!

Fre, yah, do it, and keep me posted, it’s actually a pretty fun day, despite the burn behind the left knee, grin. Something I didn’t mention was getting passed at the very top of Ha Ling, before the Col, this guy was doing a time trial or something, he had hiking poles, short shorts, no shirt, no pack, no water, nuthin but spiky blonde hair and crazy blue eyes. I’m sure you’ll kill it too, as would Will Gadd, he’s actually one of my hero’s for his all around skill and fitness (hope nobody took it the wrong way).

Rich, my crappy camera is like 5 years old, but just between me and you, I like the dust spots, it makes my photography unique and special, ha ha, I hope to get a new body soon, can I have yours?

Intrinzic, thanks for the beta, I’m all up on that foam roller, starting today, for real.

Funny, yesterday I ran up Big Sister. Since my future father-in-law did it in 4.5 hours, I wanted to beat him but lost miserably by two minutes. Tell you what, I got a couple of days in Canmore left, let’s see if I can beat you.

Dude, your camera sensor is plagued with dust spots.
