Its' Thanksgiving weekend and the first snow is on the mountains, so why not head up a summit and burn some calories before the big feast.
Please join me in heading up the Windtower from Spray Lakes, gaining just over 1,000 meters of elevation en route to the summit.
While the peak is maily a straight forward scramble, there are options to move into more interesting terrain if we wish and we will also be playing in a bit of new snow.
Can you belevee that I have never been up there? Well that is the case, so now is the time to do it, and I invite you to join me for peak number 51 of the year.
