Cool. Nice start to the season. This was a memory trigger for me, as I climbed this route once, in late November of 2001, or maybe 2000. I was having an angsty moment, and drove up from Canmore looking for something to do. I had heard this route was in, and I'd never climbed anything that far up the Parkway before. It turned out to be the right thing for the day. I soloed it, trailing a rope for the descent. It was a little fatter than in your video, but the top out on the first steep pitch was basically dirt and felt a little cruxy.. It obviously was ok, but I was glad to get home that evening. Take care, and enjoy!

I’m glad the video unlocked some old memories for you! Makes me happy!

Bravo nice beginning of ice season. We have to wait after christmas in Montreal area. So warm until now...

[@alpinegremlin4408]

Montreal ice is sick! I’m jealous of your cool looking ice!

The coldest day I ever climbed ice was this climb in March 1998? was -25 and windy. brutal

[@alpinegremlin4408]

That’s bad ass! I’m staying inside if it’s colder than -20!

[@mpreiss7780]

@alpinegremlin4408 yeah, if your smart, but we were camping in our car on vacation from states.

[@aclimbingmitch]

Nice video and great climb. I climbed that last Feb. with very different conditios obviously. Also I was curious do you just have the go pro on a mount on your helmet or do you use one of sticks in the backpack?

[@alpinegremlin4408]

Yeah I’ve climbed it a handful of times and that was definitely the thinnest! Yeah my GoPro is just on Super Wide setting on my helmet.

[@gomey60]

Wow i had no idea shades was in this early

[@alpinegremlin4408]

Yeah just enough to climb!!

[@farbeyonddriven8173]
