Another Classic Rockies Ice Climb!
Nice short approach. We started off the first pitch cold, but as soon as that sun hit us we were nice and toasty. Use caution on the last pitch as the ice can be thin in the flat spots. I broke through in one spot and was up to my knee in water. Would be nice to link this climb up with another climb in the area.
This is another classic climb in the Columbia Icefield area. The bottom two pitches and the easy approach make it a worthy objecive or an easier day or intro to someone starting out. The upper pitch is cool once, but we have never been inclined to repeat it.

Fun climb!Classic grade 3 multi-pitch climb - a good cold day climb, as it gets sun. Easy approach - usually we climb it once a year early in the season.
