PeakBeggar Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Trip: Banff National Park - Date: 2/14/2013 Trip Report: We spent the weekend in Banff National Park doing ice and mixed climbing - TR on my blog. It was an awesome time in a spectacular place http://cascadiastan.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-weekend-in-banff-national-park.html Gear Notes: ice screws and draws, also if you have 70 meter ropes that would be a good idea (we did not) Approach Notes: snowshoes would have been awesome in places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obwan Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Dear PeakBeggar: Thanks for the honest and interesting trip report - Banff has been in my future for too long, I am inspired. I know what it's like when going to a new place without being with someone who's been there before. Good Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 nice. guiness dripping is unusual as Field tends to be one of the cooler spots in the area and the climbs get no sun. moonlight and snowline are def classics and i remember my own romp up moonlight as a very fun honest 4 still to this day! As the days get longer now, into March, going for bigger longer routes like Murchison should be on your agenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Alex, I have done Guiness something like 7 times by now and it is wet pretty much wet on 2nd and third pitch almost every other time. Only first pitch remains dry most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
