Raining here now with too much cloud cover to see the mountains. The giant cliff is The Chief. 2nd largest piece of solid granite in the world. The Chief has over 50 climbs to choose from on it's west face. I personally have met the record holder for fastest climb. Oh boy is he in good physical shape. Peder is one of our home grown locals who is world reknown in the climbing circles. Peder has been know to do the climb 4 times in one day by running down the back side of the Chief and starting over again. He called it training for a real climb elsewhere in the world. SAY WHAT !!!!!!
Walking the backside footpath is on my bucket list. The bottom half is the hard part and Lynda managed that earlier this year with a friend before running out of energy.
The pic was taken from the Chief but I can't remember who took it. I do know it wasn't me. :lol:
