Read MoreGOLDEN, BC – Like many do these days, I held off attending post secondary for a few years after graduation from high school. I didn’t want to rush into a degree or diploma program that meant nothing more than a paycheck somewhere down the line. I traveled around a bit and had some good times, no rush to jump into a career.

Read MoreGOLDEN, BC – It is still dark out when I wake to the sounds of bodies moving around the lodge. I look out the window and see the sky slowly lighten in the east, the stars above still shining brightly. I put on my headlamp and some clothes and stumble downstairs, rubbing my eyes, the glow of the lanterns too much to bear. My body is stiff from the previous days of mountaineering, from my summit of Mt. Kettle. I’m not the only one feeling this way.
