Last week I went camping near Mt Robson. As I often do, I left my camera out overnight. When reviewing the results, I noticed a couple of little lights on the side of of the mountain.
Couldn’t be climbers though, could it?
I cycled through several hours worth of shots and, sure enough, they move across the mountain face one at a time. First leading, then following.
What the heck are they doing up there in the middle of the night!?

I posted that picture in a climbing group on Facebook and within 30 minutes the climbers were identified. I’ve been in contact with one of the climbers and sent them my images, he was grateful! Turns out they were trying a new route of the emperor face of Robson that they’d been scoping out for years. As far as they know, it was the first ascent of that line, and it’s absolutely bonkers. Small world out there. #BCParks #mountaineering
