Itinerary:
Let's go do some top roping at Bear Spirit! This trip is open to everyone, including STICKSSS. Bear Spirit is a great place to practice your technique on steeper ice. The ice at Bear Spirit tends to be WI3 and WI4, so I'd recommend STICKSSS participants go on at least one trip prior to this to get their feet under them on ice. We'll meet at Our Lady of Assumption school in Calgary at 7:30 and carpool from there. Bear Spirit does not get much sun so please make sure to bring lots of layers! Also be away that the approach to the crag involves an ice step. There is a fixed rope and I am happy to set up a belay if needed, but everyone must be prepared to put their crampons on for the last 5-10 minutes of the approach.
Required Items to Bring:
Harness, ice tools, technical crampons, belay device, lots of layers. Rope and anchor setup if you have them. If you are not sure email me!!
