Ben Chonzie
Last Friday, Elliot, Nicky and I decided to climb Ben Chonzie en route to Carmen’s 30th birthday weekend in Kenmore. The forecast said clear summits, light snow and little wind.
Thankfully, we all dressed for worse weather and had extra clothing with us, plus good map-reading skillz. The snow start not long after we left the car, and just got heavier. We only found the summit thanks to series of iron posts. When we got there, the wind picked up a lot and the temperature dropped.
As we were getting ready to descend, a guy appeared from the other side of the hill, practically shaking with fear from the ice sheet he’d had to cross to get to the top. We all agreed it was best if he came down with us and we drove him back to his own car.
It was a challenging climb, but good fun seeing as we were well prepared. The GPS track is here.
