August photos. We started the month by spending a week in Hamilton,
on the way to Calgary. We had to clear customs at CYYC and go through
the testing shenanigans, but it was fairly painless.
The highlight was of course spending a couple of weeks with Baba and
Diado :) And Melissa and I got to spend 2 days in Lake Louise/Icefields
Parkway area rock climbing. We spent an afternoon cragging at the back
of the lake, and then spend the next day climbing a new-ish climb
on Achilles Spire which had some of the most spectacular views ever!
Sadly, the time in Canada was over too quickly and we had to go back.
We went to Seattle and then home.
