Trippin Creating Memories...

August 13th-17th

This week Kona and I spent away from each other. It was the first time Kona has ever spent any real time away from her direct family.

Monday morning I left Kona in good hands - Isabelle. Her cousin and I worked out a deal for her to take care of Kona while I was away. Over the week Isabelle took Kona to the movies, the zoo, the park, shopping etc. etc. There is no way I would have been able to get away and climb if it weren't for her. Kona had a great time but seemed to get a little sad at bed time without me there. In the end though, she did super.A special thanks to Isabelle too

During this time I managed to climb a snowy and steep mountain called Assiniboine. It's nickname is "The Mattahorn of the Rockies". I travelled more than 60km and spent 16 straight hours climbing to make it from the hut I was staying in to the summit and back. I had a BLAST and met 4 really cool people.
