Distant Memories

The memories themselves are still clear to the Passionate Hiker, even after more than forty years, but the peaks in these snapshots from the early 1970's are a long distance from the Canadian Rockies.

On the route to Askival (2,659 ft.)from Allival (2,365 ft.), Isle of Rhum
Scottish Mainland from Sgurr of Eigg
This came close to being the last photo of the Passionate Hiker,
as I climbed a difficult cliff in a whiteout - but I survived!
