Some Ice Climbing Goals for Next Winter

Bah, humbug, winter's over. But we can look forward to this next winter:

"An all-star international team has reaped a rich bounty of new ice and mixed climbs in the Canadian Rockies [they] bagged 10 probable new routes in a nine-day trip, ranging from 60 to 600 meters, and from WI5 to M12.

The team helicoptered to Icefall Brook, just south of the Lyell Icefield in British Columbia, and camped a short distance below the climbs. At least 10 climbs had already been done in the area, mostly by Dave Thomson and Dave Chase, but dozens more possibilities awaited."

Aaron's got a pilot's license. We can get there. Dozens of new climbs await us.
