So I'm back for a few days between mountaineering camps..."Wait, like summer camp?" Yeah, you read that right. Like the coolest summer camp for adults who love type II (and a little type III) fun, all together in some of the most remote and beautiful Canadian mountain ranges with zero cell signal for weeks at a time. Every day without fail, one of the docs at camp would ask, "Alex, how's it going today?" Every day my answer was the same:"livin' the dream". ^^^ apologies I lost my voice in the mountains 😅 The TLDRAs discussed in the "Welcome to Mack Minutes" issue, each of these will start with a TLDR for the neurodivergent / ADHD compadres. So here's the scoop:IT'S "MOUNTAIN SUMMER"I'm currently between weeks working with the Alpine Club of Canada's General Mountaineering Camp, based out of the Remillard range in British Columbia. Last week I worked as the coordinator, this week I return as the photographer (!!). Absolutely thrilled with the career change right now 😉 From the summit of Serendipity Spire last week. Giga rad climb. V v happy Alex. NEXT STOP: CANADIAN ROCKIESFollowing next week's GMC I'm on a hiking / backcountry trip through the Rockies. Revisiting some of my favourite places which are arguably some of the most beautiful and coveted in Canada. And it's no surprise I have about 50 pounds of camera gear packed lol.
