Alberta Ice

Just got back from a COLD week up the parkway. We had a personal record low at -45F one night at Rampart Creek Hostel. One car out of 8 started in the parking lot that morning. Luckily the wind was mellow most of the time, so we climbed like Dumb Americans.

 

Polar Circus was great and really fat. The "ribbon" pitch had some funky ice, but the rest was perfect. What a climb! Nothing But the Breast was good with super hard - as in concrete- ice. Five Seven Zero was fat and in easy WI4 conditions.

 

Borgeaux Left is in great condition, but it was brutal cold with wind and we bailed after getting half way up it. Kitty Hawk was as fat as I've seen it, but it was too cold to give it a go.

 

Get up there and hit it hard...it's an awesome year for getting the "screaming barfies".
