Somehow I managed to lose my crampons on the way down from Murchisons yesterday.
Check out the ice on Laetitia's jacket. Then take a look at the quickdraw; frozen solid!
We've been after Whiteman Falls for a few years, but have been thwarted by one reason or another, but today, at last, we 'sent it'!
Tired after yesterday's efforts, Pete let me take the lead on Sunshine in the Ghost.
There's a lot of snow in the Ghost this year!
We headed up the David Thomson Highway to check out 'Nothing But the Breast', but as our luck would have it, there was a party already on the route. Knowing the misery of climbing behind others and being bombarded by falling ice we choose to move on and try 'The End of the Line'.
After kicking ass, we got a decent 4WD delivered to Canmore, so a long trip to the Dry Ranges was in order.
Today we thought we'd take advantage of what we thought was our awesome 4WD, so we drove towards the Ghost for some avalanche-risk free ice.
Back for our annual pilgrimage to Canadian ice, we found that all the snow so desperately sought for in Europe has also come to Canada! Avalanche warnings galore, but that didn't stop us taking a trip to Field for Guinness Gully.
