fultonville Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Nice rich and full trip. Carlsberg looks pretty hooked out, was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pu Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Carlsberg was the most technical of the weekend and was predominantly hooking. Weeping Right was the steepest and hardest to protect. Professors was HUGE. Unbelievable. Definitely a bit of a "Greatest Hits" weekend. Can't wait for some warm March Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks again Joe for planting the seed this season for a greatest hits trip! Believe it or not I had never done any of these routes before they all are required reading for sure. After years of mostly loacl & MT stuff Canada is what the doctor ordered. I definately need to get back up there again! Edited February 13, 2011 by Skatan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Canadian Rockies > Hyalite. They're the same distance from Seattle/Portland too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
