Cathedral Traverse |
Bill Crouse, Alex Honnold
and I head out for an attempt on the Grand Traverse. We are on
schedule for Teewinot and Owen, then Crouse and I need to pull
out the rope and move at a snail's pace out of the Gunsight and
up the N.Ridge of the Grand. Alex takes off on his own and has
success, while Crouse and I have to settle for the Cathedral Traverse
(photos). |

Mega Hike |
Ellen, Metcalf, Crouse
and I decide to punish our knees on a 11.5 hour super hike in
the Wasatch. Starting in Ferguson Canyon, up to Broad Fork Twins,
over Suprise, Dromedary, Monte Cristo and Superior (as well as
all the subsidiary peaks along the way). We're guessing 10 miles
and over 10K gain. We'll be feeling this one tomorrow for sure.

summary of 2007 |
Kolin &
Ellen's archive of the website for 2007 (2007 )
the year in review - we
sadly say goodbye to the amazing Ellis at the age of over 15
1/2 years old in late February. It's brutal, losing both boys
within a year. We are crushed. We try to stay busy with lots
of sport and trad climbing and taking lots of photos. A trip
to the Valley, some local adventure climbing out our door, an
incredible trip to the Bugaboos, some mountain adventures, and
extreme hiking. Kolin has shoulder surgery and is out for months
while Ellen goes to Spain and keeps climing through the winter.
Our first trip back to Ontario at Christmas to visit the family
and meet the first Junior Powick ever, and a winter of snow
to remember at our house.
Approx 100 outdoor climbing
days for Kolin, over 130 for Ellen in 2007.

summary of 2006 |
Kolin & Ellen's
archive of the website for 2006 (2006)
the year in review - We
unexpectedly lose our wonderful big yellow-headed Yukon to what
was most likely a brain aneurism - a crushing blow - lots of
climbing at the VRG, and Maple, our Yukon tree is planted, many
many weddings, a few trips to Yosemite - Kolin goes to Canmore
to alpine climb, Ellis turns FIFTEEN, - Kolin gets Santa off
his bike to the Tetons and the Perch, Kolin goes to Italy to
climb in the Dolomites, to the desert with the big cheese, and
to Canmore to climb ice, all fall spent going to Welcome Springs
and the VRG. Alonely Christmas and New Years without Yukon.
Ellis is still hangin' tough.
