specialed Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 Well I just finalized plans to go to Golden, BC next week to climb ice. Some friends of mine from Montana are living out there this winter, so I'll have partners and a place to stay. Any recomended routes or areas to hit. I've heard Kicking Horse Canyon is sick. Any other suggestions? Quote
David_Parker Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 Buy your beer (and gas) in the states, it's cheaper in spite of the exchange. Bring your skis in case it snows a bunch. Buy your dope up there and smoke it all before you come back. Consider going further east for more ice climbing. Quote

dr._jay Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 there are many sweet routes with very easy access right off the transcanada highway within 10 miles east of golden. was just there last week and the conditions were very warm, but the bluebird days and awesome position more than made up for the tricky pro. lady killer, riverview, essendale and pretty nuts all looked classic and fat, we did essendale right and it was the shit. stop by gibralter wall outside of canal flats on the way, its 4 pitches tall with as many lines as you want, with a great bivi site and easy approach. golden's a good time, be sure to give yourself enough days to enjoy it all. cheers.
