When my friend was 11 or 12 him, his Dad and his sister climbed a long scree bash route up the right hand side of Cheam's NW flank. When they reached the spur ridge to the right of the face they turned left again and scrambled up some class 3/4 rock to the west ridge. This was 6 or 7 years ago and I was wondering if this was possibly the first recorded ascent od this side of the mountain?
Their route was something like this

Apparently my new BD Predator pack is suposed to be compatible with a hydration system but it seem like there is no hole in the bottom of the bag for the hose to come out... can anyone help me out with this! Thanks!

vertical for sure... especially cuz there usually replaceable and if you wear them out on mixed stuff you can replace the fp's instead of scrapping the crampon
I think I added that but I sure never wrote that...ummm. can people edit route info on that site? (I'm gonna fix that)
All fixed now

Trip: Wells Peak - Random WI2
Date: 12/8/2007
Trip Report:
Me and Dave went up to Wells Peak today to climb some ice... Dave's truck got as far as four mile creek and we hiked the reamaining 3 km to the trailhead. From there we bushwacked straight up the mountain in front of us and ascended a short snow slope to the base of a 55m WI2 on the left hand side of the mountain. The ice was a bit wierd with good spots and bad spots of ice crusted on top of old snow, I got to hid in a little cave and belay Dave up the climb and then seconded it shortly after, it was a pretty fun climb but would have been better if the ice was nicer. Dave's rope ended up jamming up after rapping down the climb but he was going to retire it soon anyways so we left it there...for now at least... some pics...

More to come when Dave sends me his pics...
