It was a hazy morning, the devastating wildfires in neighbouring province of British Columbia blew over a lot of smoke and smog limiting visibility. I don't know the name of this mountain, it's just a hill compared to some of the others. Linking pitches, climbing up. Rappelling down. View from the top of pitch 2 (60 metres). Hiking out. Town of Canmore, Alberta. Sunset shot from camp. _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual

obsidian I'm the dude! Joined: 04 Feb 2002 Posts: 12498	Posted: 09-14-2018 06:11 PM                  Day 2: The Grotto It rained overnight but I hardly noticed inside my tent. Woke up to find that the rain had cleared a lot of the smoky haze and we had pretty good visibility. We started with another day of easy climbs to practice for bigger multipitch stuff - just some single and two pitch routes by Mt. Grotto. Rain on the ground evaporating back into clouds. Particularly interesting are the First Nations Hopi pictographs right next to one of the routes we climbed. Painted in what I assume to be ochre, they depicted figures of a family, a bison, deer, and a flute player. The paintings seem to be protected with some kind of clear coat. It was inspiring to be able to climb on rock next to paintings touched by human hands somewhere between 500-1,300 years ago (they're not really sure when) by visitors originating from as far away as Arizona. According to myth, the Hopi clans travelled in the four directions of the compass, leaving paintings of the flute player known as a Kokapelli wherever they travelled, with one group travelling north to the land of ice and rock. According to archeologists, this painting provides fact to the mythology. Kokapelli. It's faint, but you can see a narrow flute in its right hand. Took some long exposure photos of the stars. Last one is a 14-minute exposure. _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual
