Soaking up the rays at "Step Right Up" near Banff.
On Saturday we headed into the sunny "Step Right Up" ice climb near Banff. By mid-afternoon it felt like T-Shirt weather in the sun! There was a good variety of lines on the climb and everyone progressed from easy grade 2 ice in the morning to a steep grade 3 climb by the end of the day. As well, everyone learned belaying, knots, and a whole bunch of ice climbing techniques.
Ice climbing at the Wedge Smear in K-Country on Sunday.
Sunday we hiked up to the "Wedge Smear" in Kananaskis Country. This is a great area for learning since there is some steep ice, some mellow ice, some thin ice, and even a short overhanging section on the far right side! There was a huge improvement in everyone's skills from day 1 and the climbing went great.
