Climbing a Mountain!

Ok, so right now I'm contemplating whether to take a shower, sleep, or do homework. So instead of doing any of those, I'll blog! Why not. 

Oh my super ducky... Saturday was awesome!!!! Super Super Cool. We climbed "Mt." McKay (quotation marks cause I've been to Alberta and it just doesn't compare mountain wise. it's like a big bump).  There is supposed to be a path to the top, but we couldn't find it. We thought we were following it but then we got the the top of this really steep shale path and realized that it just went straight back down. We then realized that our "path" was actually a water runoff. So, because we are crazy like people, we decided to keep on going! We call it the scramble route. There wasn't really any hiking per se. It was mostly climbing. But soooo much fun! 

So yeah, we got to the sort of top and wandered around for a while and then bushwhacked our way to the highest plateau (there are two).  Again, we aren't very good at finding proper paths. There was a big telephone or hydro or something pole up there that a few of my un-named friends climbed. It was one of the metal ones that are really skinny on the bottom. I'm pretty sure it's phone. 

There were a few random people who came up to the top using the path. Andrew went over and asked them where the path was and they sort of pointed. So, we headed in that direction. We weren't sure if it was a good idea to take the scramble path down cause it was really slippery and loose and we'd probably drop things on each others heads. We found a sort of deer trail thing and kind of wandered down there. Somehow, I don't know how, our trail we were following ended up back on our scramble path. So, we were lost again and decided to just take it down anyways. And it was a blast again. 

My chiropractor told me that climbing was a good thing to do in the long run for strengthening my back but that I was going to pay for it right now. :P All well. I'm sort of sitting through classes these days. It's better than the beginning of the year. 

I'm scared for Thanksgiving.... I'm cooking for 10-15 people. Like a turkey and stuffing and all those yummy things. It will be fun, but I've got to do some serious organizing before then. 

I've found a church that I'm trying to get to for Sunday mornings right now. They just got a building. Up until this fall, they were meeting in peoples homes and then the college. The building is gorgeous and huge! I'm pretty sure it's bigger than the TPA, except without a basement. And I've heard a rumour that they got if for 20K. Which is amazing. The building is in stellar condition. I'm hoping to be able to get involved on the worship team there. They are just starting up but already they have more people than our churches back home. 

Alrighty, so I just noticed that this is getting long, so I suppose I better leave for now. Take a look at the climbing pics. ;)

This was even before we started climbing. We drove to this point. And I didn't go past the "do not pass" sign.... *innocent*

POINT! *I have no idea what I was pointing at*

It was such an amazing view. Andrew was scared I was going to fall off.
