Canadian Rockies conditions

Hello fellow ice lovers. Here is what we have found the last week.

 

dec 12- Climbed Replicant. 1st pitch thin, protected by stubbies for the first 90 feet. a brief overhung section but good ice and better pro on the second part of the 1st. A full 60 meter got us to the overlap.

2nd pitch started thin with stubbies again for about 30 feet then pull the overlap onto thick plastic ice to the top. a full 60meters gets you to the thread where the ice emerges. Great route!!

 

dec 11- Linda ice still in great shape.

 

dec 10- got stuck in the waiporous. had a great epic!!!!

 

dec 9- Climbed Sorcerer. Still there and in great easy shape.

 

dec 8- Climbed Candle Stick Maker. 1st pitch dry and steep with good gear and hooks. 2nd pitch wet and not as steep. great route. We used hidden dragon for the approach.

 

dec 7- Climbed professors. fat but beware of the last pitch if grade 4 is your limit as is still a little stiff. we climbed it on the left and pull onto the curtain with good gear in the tube behind it.

 

cheers,

 

Dale Remsberg and Steve B.

Nice Dale, do you shoot photos with a digital camera? If so you should consider giving us some eye candy for Christrmas!

Nice going Daler! Man I wish I could climb that hard!!!! I'd post a thumbs up gremlin, but I don't know what 1/2 of them mean anymore and I'd probably wind up posting a f*ck you gremlin by accident.

Anyway, nice job good work and cheers!
