 Saint Nicholas Peak and Mount Olive
- Canadian Rockies
Saint Nicholas Peak is located on the Bow N'ev'e. To get to this peak you must do some glacier travel
and although the glacier itself is fairly smooth, it does have a few
small crevasses.
I tagged along with some new friends and although I wasn't in very good physical condition, my experience coping with physical pain got me through to the end.
To sum it up I had no sleep for two nights, had 3 inch torn blisters on the ball of both feet, had a minor chest infection
and was over-weight. But despite all these mitigating circumstances
I'm proud to say I knocked both peaks off; St. Nicholas Peak and Mount Olive that is.
My camera battery was low. This wouldn't allow me to take pictures when the camera was cold. The shutter wouldn't release,
so what I've done is to borrow a picture or two off of
http://www.dave-stephens.com to round out the story. Where Dave's pictures are used I've made a note.
 he way I see things, the way I
see life, I see it as a struggle. And there's a great deal of
reward I have gained coming to that understanding -- that
existence is a struggle.
