News of Canada and Alaska

I'm looking to spend some solo (<= 5.6, relatively safe glacier travel) time in the Canadian Rockies this summer, and am looking for information on both routes and logistics, e.g. park fees and cheap/free camping. I have already found a lot of good information on Dow's pages here. Would Dougherty's "Selected Alpine Climbs" be more complete, or would another book be more appropriate?

Also, any info on the year's snowpack would be appreciated. Judging by ...

Does anyone know if there has been any recorded summit attempts on the peaks along the border near Mt. British Columbia and Mt. Yukon? What we know, is that only these two + Mt. Northwest been climbed back in 1967.

Don't faint kids, this is a post about something other than politics and guns from me.

We are taking another trip to Alaska this July (2014) and would welcome any recommendations for a 2-3 day backpacking trip. Two years ago we did the Crow Pass Trail and we're looking for another point to point trip of a similar length.

Would be great if someone can help me on this. Does anyone know what kind of documents Canada will request from me in order to enter the country? I have a job offer, but I also have a 1 year old (first) DUI in Europe. It hasn't been to court yet, as it happened while on vacation in a Southern European country - they are slow!

I know I will need a Labout Market Opinion ...

I'm looking for people who arrange support system for Denali expeditions. These are not necessarily guide services but help with logistics.

The support program will provide you with transportation from the airport to hotel, will help pick up supplies in Anchorage and arrange for air taxi to Base Camp.They will also plan and purchase 15 days of food, give advice when asked, pay Denali National Park Entry fee and Base Camp fee, and provide with ...

FYI
Howdy folks,
Yes, call me late to the party, but it didn't look like there was much of a thread/info/feedback on this 2010 (correction: 2005) book. :)
