Itinerary:
THIS IS AN ICE REVIEW EVENT. You must be signed up for the entirety of the 2-day ice review to be elibible to participate in this climb. We will climb Ghoster Coaster or a similar WI3 in the Bow Valley. Some experience req'd as this is a multi-pitch climb. There is a 1.5hr approach to this climb (keeps away the crowds!) but the climb itself is in a really cool little canyon. Opportunity for some rambly ice, laps on the WI3 curtain, practice on abalakovs and WI3 leading, if you're interested. Please send me a little blurb on your level of experience, incl. some recent ice climbs, when you sign up.
