Lucas & Aldo's Wapta Taverse Pursuit
7:59am - 8:45am
Aldo Behrens and Lucas Bodkins had an exciting reading week! At the tail end of a ski touring trip in the rockies, these two decided to take on the Wapta Traverse. The Alpine Club of Canada says: "Crossing frozen lakes, high passes and a vast glacial expanse, the Wapta Traverse is a journey in the truest sense of the word. This Adventure gives you the opportunity to travel hut-to-hut across the length of the Wapta and Waputik Icefields with the opportunity to climb ski mountaineering summits and cut deep powder turns along the way." Truly an endeavour, Lucas and Aldo completed the traverse in under 24 hours - many of those hours spent in the dark (lit by a full moon). Tune in to hear their re-telling and thoughts on the trip after the fact.
