Congrats to all you guys for your early starts on something great. It's only been 12 yrs for me, 10 yrs of soloing.

I'm headed to Nunavut for the 3rd year a row this summer (16 days), but Q is always nice to return to.

I thought everything was really cool on my first trip to Q. I'd been trying to hookup with a group for years and finally got asked to join an experienced group. Soon after that I decided once a year wasn't enough and started soloing to add extra trips.
Whenever I take someone new it reminds me of my first trip. It is a very special place. All our outdoor friends need to go once in their lifetime.
