Marble Canyon, II, WI 3-5

The exit ice is quite aesthetic, but borders on WI 2 vs WI 3 with a bunch of run out snow climbing towards the top. In January, 2008, there was a huge hole down to the running creek between where the belayer stands and the leader takes off. You would want to protect this climb early so as not to slide into this gapping hole (photo). Marble Canyon, Kootenay National Park, BC, Canadian Rockies Ice, January, 2008
