FRA Bob Dean, Howie Ridge, 24/8/1970.

2. Northwest Ridge. Follow the crest of the northwest ridge until it steepens and then go out onto a series of rotten ledges on the north face which lead to the summit. There is low Class 5 climbing on the ridge and scrambling on the ledges. Descend by Route 1. (II,5.3).

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
