Rafael_H Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 One of the climbs that definitely stood out for me was Grotto Canyon, very cool approach and beaiutiful surroundings. Climbing is not bad if you count in the mixed routes, but very well worth visiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted December 20, 2001 Author Share Posted December 20, 2001 Rafael - i have done all the main routes in Grotto except for Cousin It & bisexual Piton. (havent hiked 2 hours up to elle et lui). broke some picks on mental jewelry. agree with you on beauty of setting but didnt like the swarming crowds. Maybe you should check out the names of the routes I was mentioning: "Panther" "Spray" "caveman" - ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrosaurus Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 How about Brewer's Droop in Sheep River? Terminal Gravity ought to have intimate knowlege of how this climb is hangin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted December 20, 2001 Author Share Posted December 20, 2001 And Pencil Pusher should know how thick "the Pencil" on Polar Circus is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimL Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I thought Cascade Falls in Banff was really fun. The first part was easy enough to solo and we roped up for the final 2 pitched of WI 3. Beware of avy danger from the basin above the climb. I agree with Rafael, the setting for Grotto was really pleasent and the climbing moderate and fun.
