Great set of hikers you got there Murray. Very considerate of your co-workers. I'm sure you will use them a lot.
Our office is notable among supervisors who have worked here, because of how easy we make their jobs compared to other places. Awesome bunch of co-workers they are.
Into day two of wearing the boots inside, to slowly break them in. When the parcel arrived I thought it was my paper order because of the size and lightness of the box. Despite their weight, they are serious light mountaineering boots for sure, and very well made.
There is a peak just north of the Seven Sisters Range on the Skeena River that has been calling me. I think it's called Orion Peak...beside Artemis Peak. Around the longest day of the year, the rising sun hits the near vertical Seven Sisters north face, which I would love to photograph from Orion. It would put me about 3/4 the way up and across from the 5000' north face of the Seven Sisters.
My daughter & I tried to bushwhack our way up there this summer, didn't make it, but found a plausible, old, faded, overgrown path heading up a ridge through the forest. The laces to the toes will be a game changer for sure, as I'm pretty sure there will be some basic rock climbing moves involved in the alpine.
Will have to reassess or come up with Plan B if a rope is needed
