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.

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?

How about Brewer's Droop in Sheep River?

Terminal Gravity ought to have intimate knowlege of how this climb is hangin.

And Pencil Pusher should know how thick "the Pencil" on Polar Circus is!

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.

ya, i heard 2nd hand this morning that someone died on cascade yesterday!!

[Rafael_H]

Ha, I get it now, the names, I mean , pretty cool.

Don't mess with Cascades looks like Sorry to hear somebody died.

Pencil is thick but didn't touch the bottom.
