Commonwealth Ridge III

Snowshoeing
with Mark.
Commonwealth
Ridge is one is those trips I would repeat every year if there weren’t
innumerable other trips to check out. A solo trip in February of 2010,
stands
out as one of my most enjoyable winter ascents ever and so I was elated
to drag
my big brother up once again on this crisp and clear January day (we
had
actually ascended the peak in 2003, but in gloomy weather conditions).
We didn't go to the true summit, but even the Centre summit provides
breath-taking views in every direction. As well, the cornice scenery on
this peak is always stunning. Awesome!
