After a relaxing day yesterday in the springs we decided that we needed some activity. We decided to climb Whistler Mountain. There is a cable car that rides to the top and we figured that we could use that to catch a ride down. The hike was very strenuous and took almost three hours at a good pace to complete. Towards the middle of the climb we encountered a boggy area which was quite humid and were bitten several times by big flying insects. Later in the climb we hit the snow again which completely obscured the path, at times we were almost waist deep in snow just aiming for the top.The views were fantastic and so was the sense of achievement at reaching the top (2450metres). It was a shame we had to mingle with all the shorts-wearing, perfectly clean people who had taken the cable car the whole way up, all seven minutes!
