A quick couple day jaunt up to Canmore left me wanting. Got shut down twice on bigger routes, but managed to get some climbing in up in Ranger Creek and at Haffner. There was significantly more ice formed up in the Rockies than either of us expected and it almost felt like we were there too late, not too early. Perhaps a late October trip should be in the works for next year…
We managed to climb Blade & Chalice along with R&D in Ranger Creek, but it was stormy and windy as all get up. Haffner was pumpy as always and roofs never cease to kick my ass.
- A view up the drainage
- Nate climbing in a storm
- Not happy about the cold
Looking forward to a few more ice trips north in the next month or so.
