About

Hi – my name is Cornelius and this is my personal site designed to share my impressions and experiences in the mountains with friends & family and anyone else who might be interested. There is some route information as well, but my trip reports are primarily meant to preserve my memories.

I’ve been actively exploring the mountains since 2010 when I discovered my passion in the Canadian Rockies west of Calgary, Alberta. Attaining mountain tops through hiking and scrambling, i.e. without any complex gear, is what I love to do. The simple elegance of finding an easy or at least manageable way up a summit without the need for ropes is both liberating and exciting. It’s a wonderfully rewarding activity that keeps both body and mind fit and healthy.

I hope some of the photos and stories encourage you to get out, challenge your own limits, and start exploring!

Thanks for visiting!
