Hey Ken. Too funny. I didn't think anybody went back to that climb. I used to rope solo back there early season to build some strength. It is a great setting, just needs to be longer.

Did you have a look at Whitehorse Falls while you were in the area. The mine has tried to restore the flow that they obliterated with the new haul road. Last year it ended up forming ice lower down the canyon. Although not quite the orginal wall of ice (grade 3-4), it was a fun 30 m of grade 3 last year.
