Climbing 'North Stork'

Last Saturday Myself, Rob and Mark went climbing on North Stork.
Myself wrapped up warm, ready for the day ahead.

Mark, our GA for the day looking at his map! He did this quite a lot! Mark is a very good GA and he's also very thorough.

Rob, Mark and myself at the summit of North Stork. One of many local and very good peaks to climb. We set of at 8am and managed to reach the summit at 2.30pm. We just happened to choose the coldest day for a long while. Climbing in the shade and at a temperature of -10 it was a bit chilly to say the least.

But it was well worth it. This is the view at the summit. In the background is McCallums pass which is the main route to the rest of the Island. And the route i will be taking on a Skidoo next week when i will go out on my winter trip.

Rob and Mark having a well deserved cup of tea and a bite of a frozen Mars bar after the assent.

After a warm up and photo opportunity we headed across Stork ridge towards Stork bowl. We were linked together at all times just in case one of us were to slip or fall down a crevasse.
