ANOTHER Chicks sighting in Canada!

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

We’ve got another Chicks sighting to report – this one comes again from Canada where more of our Chicks with Picks alumnae are putting their ice climbing skills to good use as they are out there logging time and mileage on some truly epic Canadian ice climbs!

This sighting involves two alumnae and one Girly Guide! Can you name them?

If you guessed alumna Dara Miles, Girly Guide Sarah Hueniken, and alumna Amy Jurries you’d be correct! We’re happy to hear they’ve all been having a blast and enjoying some great climbing weather all weekend. Here are a few more pics from Amy!

Big smiles on a windy day climbing Lake Louise Falls!

I don’t think Amy is ever NOT smiling in an ice climbing picture – love it! :)

Dara having tons of fun on some backcountry multi-pitch ice climbs!

Sarah enjoying some mild weather – that is to say mild compared to what she was climbing in last month!

Thanks for sharing the photos Amy! We just LOVE seeing alumnae take trips together!

If you have a Chicks sighting to report, please let us know! Red Rock Rendezvous is just around the corner (this weekend!), and I have no doubt there will be a few Chicks there – we’d love to see what you are up to! :)

Chicks spotted demoing new bunk beds in North Boulder!

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Chicks alumnae Cheryl Wallace (lower bunk) and Kate Higgins (top bunk) demo the new dorm beds at the (strictly unofficial) Chicks’ North Boulder HQ. Stylishly situated in a three-car garage, the “beds” are rustic at best. (Okay, they’re darned hard and quite dusty, having been used previously as storage for kayaks and fly-fishing gear. Get over it.) The garage is unheated, so you’ll need your best foam pad and down bag, but the payoff is the hot tub in the backyard–with awesome views–and a civilized shower.

Cheryl and Kate are no strangers to harsh conditions, having logged countless miles on ice, rock, and gnarly downhill singletrack trails. Their host, Chick Dara Miles, prefers the soft bed in the house by night, but enjoys granite by day.

Thank you ladies for the submission! Have you experienced a recent Chicks sighting? If so, we want to know about it! Submit your sighting to info@chickswithpicks.net or maijaliisa.burkert [at] gmail.com to get it published here!
