Winter ice is over for me for this year. I'm heading to France today for spend some quality time with Ann in Paris and then onto Chamonix. We were nominated for this year's Piolet d'Or for the Sasser Kangri II climb in India last year - but more on that later. Here is a summary of some great ice climbs in the Canadian Rockies this winter.
