MOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT CO-OP!

Wow! Today I went to Calgary with my dad to pick up a chunk of my gear from MEC. We spent about 4 hours in the store shuffling from department to department. I wish they had shopping carts there because I had to buy so much stuff! I think this was the biggest shopping spree of my life. Climbing gear, paddle gear, Gortex, socks, and packs! MEC Calgary has a small but useful climbing wall to test out any harness or shoe you try on so you know what your getting into. But I did not know what I was getting into until I saw the bill. Oh lord! My gear better pay off this year. One more week and classes begin!
