Martin Going to Bed on Mont-Albert

Canada Québec Mont-Albert - North Face North Rim 69L

“A short trip that we’ve done a couple of times in the past. We hike Mont-Albert off the beaten track, we sleep and enjoy the landscape & tranquility at the summit and go down the mountain the day after… or we continue, it depends! The hike is physically hard but not pretty long.

Un petit trip qu’on a déjà fait à quelques reprises. On grimpe hors-piste le Mont-Albert, on couche au sommet et on profite du paysage et de la tranquilité et on redescend le lendemain ou on poursuit… tout dépendant! La grimpe est assez dure mais relativement courte. Même chose pour la descente.”

Nacho Walking Around Kenya

Kenya - Decathlon Backpack

“The guy in the picture is Nacho López, my best friend, and he is with another good friend of mine, the masai warrior L’entano ole Siloma. We were three Spanish guys and 2 kenyan-masai. We drove from Nairobi to Crater Lake – Naivasha, then camping in Loita Forest for 2 days, then camping in Loita Hills for 3 days (where this picture were taken during a walking safari), and then we spent four days camped at Masai Mara. After this exciting safari we spent some days in Lamu and in Nairobi. It was a fantastic experience, specially to have the chance of living some days with the masai tribe. “ - Paco
