Holy Crap! Do you want to die when you climb?! That looks pretty intense. Good work.

The entire rope team fell down the face...I assume someone slipped on ice & pulled everyone else off, but please don't quote me. I've always wondered what the Sickle looked like "up close & personal" but poor conditions a few years ago turned us back so I never got to see for myself. It looks scary enough from the Lake Louise Chateau....this pic makes the pitch look even more steep than looking up from the lake. Auuugghhh!!!

Thanks .. now I know what to expect when I reach that part. Turned back in a white out last year just before the sickle. I hope to finish the job in August. Cheers William
