| First day of ice for the season for both me & Hedd-wyn. We got horrendously stuck in a snow drift not too far from the Big Hill and it took us 2 hours of shovelling and winching to get out. I thought we wouldn't get to climb at all and just spend the whole day shovelling, which is somewhat typical.
Thankfully we still got to the climb, even though it was quite late (12pm at that point). I led the first two pitches and then we rapped off, probably 60 feet from the top... we had daylight to finish it, but were having Christmas dinner with Hedd-wyn's family in Canmore that night and didn't want to be late. We were fully content though!!! May have to return sometime... |
