It’s snowing out. It’s May. I want to be rock climbing, but instead am inside, cleaning out closets, catching up on emails and reflecting on winter. Thanks to some amazing photographers that sent me some of their images, I thought I would celebrate our never ending winter with a little winter review in photos! Thanks …
Life is full of bumps in the road. Mine, recently though came in the form of a bump in my eye. What started as the irritating feeling of a speck of dust, soon became the constant annoyance of what felt like a blackfly stuck in my eye. I noticed it years ago and watched as …
Helmcken is a magical place. It is magical in the summer, in a lush BC forest sort of way, and it is magical in the winter, in a crazy glacier/cone/ice creating sort of way. If you have never been, it is truly worth the drive just to look at. Of course, for me, half the …
Where does time go? I remember my Mom telling me when I was a kid that time flies faster the older you get. Of course that was impossible as an 8 year old…Christmas, birthdays, all the good things took FOREVER to finally arrive. Now, as I approach that age my mother was when I was …
Just wanted to give a big shout out to all the work, effort, passion and energy that went into the super successful Bozeman Icefest this year. A huge showing of people came from all around the world to celebrate Hyalite Canyon and the sport and play of ice and mixed climbing. This was my 7th …

Of course, as humans, it is hard to isolate ourselves in …
Its been a busy month here in the rockies. Lots of alpine adventures and great rock climbs. Hard to believe that summer is at the tail end already..things move so quickly. Since my last blog post, I spent 3 days rock climbing with Maria in the Bow Valley. Always a pleasure to get out with …
Well, it has been a looong time since posted anything. Winter ended, spring flew by and before you know it, summer is already half way over. Not sure where to start, but I wanted to share a bit of what has been going on at Sarahhueniken Guiding! Winter ended with a few more days of …
The original Ghost camp ran 4 years ago now. It was a gamble…get a bunch of women to sign up for a winter camping and ice climbing experience in Canada?? But…we had amazing weather for the most part and great climbing conditions. The following two years, did not respond as well. Despite the burning interest …
Another great weekend in the gorgeous Fireweed Hostel. Hard to believe a full month went by between these two camps, and how different conditions were! A great group of woman arrived at Haffner on day one from all over the US and Canada. Strong women attacked the ice and mixed climbs and despite the non …
