North Col of Mount Septimus

01Sep10

Once a year I climb a mountain with the old man. This year Bob and I wrestled with an old acquaintance. Mount Septimus, which is the most impressive feature in the south part of Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island, shut me down when I was a teenager trying to climb it solo. This time around, climbing with Bob, I had better luck. We scurried up the North Col (AI 2, 5th class, 3000 ft) and rapped the west face just before a storm hit. Victoria to Victoria our time was 4 days.

Hi Arron,

I’ve been living near Byron Bay since I saw you last in Lorne. Surfing a 9ft long board; easy fun. Now back briefly in Melbourne and jumped back for a look at your blog.
Really liked your writing on food, I also find it a broad topic, with so many people with ideas of diet, but listening and watching how the food I consume affects me, really informs my food choices.
All the best Arron from me and Jessica, look after yourself, and all strength to your endevours.
