Interestingly, there is a forum on gravsports-ice.com regarding "thieves" in the Kananaski's area ripping off climbers and breaking into cars! Thats unfortunate...
Next week, we are headed to Alberta for 10 days of ice...hope it warms up some! I think we'll avoid the K-country as well - can't have our car busted up or our gear ripped off!
There are soo many distractions once you get there, but we have The Sourcerer, Hydrophobia, Valley of the Birds, Wicked Wanda, Weathering Hieghts, & This House of Sun all in mind for the Ghost...we'll see which ones we actually tic off. Outside Canmore & up the Transcanada, we want to hit Weeping Wall, Polar Circus & Mixed Master. If we have any juice left whatsoever....theres always Nemesis on the Stanley Headwall!
We're going to be doing a lot of wayfinding I'm sure, as we don't know the Ghost area at all.
