Then we really would have had to find places to set up the tent every night. There's always next year though, I'm hoping for a Banff trip next christmas.
It looks like you had prime pickings at Smith, and sun-kissed routes no less! I've considered a January/February trip down there, but thought it might be too cold to brave the canyon for multiple nights.
Despite there being snow on the ground, it was the warmest rock we had all trip; which i found odd. We were the first ones to the wall but by the time we were on the second pitch the sport routes were filling up.
The night before in the 4runner wasn't too bad, the temps were probably in the teens.
Great trip report on a road trip you will be remembering for a long time. Nice pictures and excellent details. Looked like some excellent rock climbing.

Here's to wishing...you went just a little later. Then I could have come and I know how to drive a manual!
