Marc approaching the Navigator Wall of Slesse
I went up to Slesse in Lower BC just south of Chilliwack, BC for a moderate climbing objective. However, being out for the past two seasons due to my ACL injury has taken a greater toll on my body then I realized. This 16 year old handed me my weaknesses on this short lived journey. However, I had a few photography successes despite tweaking my left shoulder on the first roped pitch. I got the above shot as I was moving a few yards behind Marc and saw the sunrise hitting the upper mountain.
I also got a 111 image panoramic once we returned to the propeller cairn after tweaking my shoulder.
Slesse from the Propeller Cairn
The propeller cairn is there in memory of Flight 810 that crashed into the mountain during bad weather and killed all who were aboard the flight. This area is a Historical Monument and debris from the flight must be left in place.
