I'll be posting the vlog that documents the trials and tribulations of this action-packed adventure tomorrow so be sure to visit and subscribe to youtube.com/fototripper

This image was the result of a long day of struggling with unrealistic expectations.

After 3 hours of sleep and while suffering a face like a betrayed marmot, I headed into the snow-covered mountains near Gold River, BC.

All-day long I experienced failure after failure until I finally gave up all hope of witnessing any good light.

I reckon that fate knows when you're bluffing. You have to really, genuinely relinquish all hope and admit total defeat before fate decides to throw you a bone.

Stay tuned...

What a glorious morning this was.

After a death defying climb on sketchy cliff faces and a beach full of slime covered rocks, I made it just in time with only seconds to spare.

Climbing in the dark while overweight and lacking any real climbing skill made me realize I should just invest in a canoe.

Watch the full episode over on my Fototripper channel.

Thanks for looking.
