JoshK Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Im on a spring break road trip with my girlfriend through the canadian rockies. We spent a couple of nights in Vancouver then spent the last two in lake lousie. We brought some climbing gear as she said she had interest in trying ice climbing at some point. Yesterday we drove the parkway from lake louise to about 100 clicks south of jasper. We climbed for a few hours at tangle creek, a fun, right off the road beginners area. She had a good time trying ice climbing for her first time and I got to climb 4 pitches of ice on a vacation where I wasn't supposed to climb any, so that was a bonus! In any event, the torture of it all...the parkway is in FAT. at least every major climb I could see from the road and recognized looked awesome. From what I could see of PC it looked huge, so did most of the mt wilson climbs. Tangle creek was super fat and the ice was awesome plastic. It made for good conditions to sprint up and down the easy WI 2 and 3 ice. The torture is having to drive by all that awesome ice and not be able to climb it! Quote
Lambone Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I hear that... I went on my Honeymoon in the Bannf/Jasper area in early Sept. We did some fun mellow climbs...but man...WOW! Quote
Alex Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Next time you can relieve yourself of said torture by driving N to Jasper, and returning direct via Kamloops! Quote
