Little warm on this day and small sluffs were coming down all around us. This was our first go at WW left side and we bailed. We hadn't had a shower for days, so with the wet conditions everything worked out wll in the end!

My thrid lead on ice. Getting steeper as they go! Long day with 7 pitches to the top of the weeping pillar.

This photo was tkaen from an ice route in the Waterfowl gullies area (can't rememder which one). It wasn't until I started rappelling off the route that I noticed the awesome view. Two hard routes go up this face. My partner saw headlamps of a party bailing off of this face several nights before in snow storm. The steep walls of Howse peak can be seen on the left.

this is me at the top of the intimidating first P of the route, with Chris Morris belaying. An 8' diameter freestanding pillar of ice 30' away from the wall. WHAT A BLAST! shot by Mike Tittel Photography. Used with permission

This is a shot that Rob snappad at the belay cave on the way up the left side of Murchison's Falls, Icefields Parkway, Banff

This photo is of myself approaching the second stance on weeping wall, and about te leave for P3 Deffinitely one of my personal highlites. Thanks Rob, Nick and the Deevs

ray takes on the final pillar of the breast, WI5-shot on tungsten film to get that super cold look

the boys blowing gum bubbles to see if we can float back to the car instead of having to trudge the many hours back out-the summit of hector is behind

Almost at the top of the second pitch on fine WI in Alberta

one 60m rope rap will put u back on the ground from the second belay

coming up the narrow steep ice/snow gully on the NW Face of Mt.Kerkeslin near Jasper. This is a great spring route that leads el-direct to the summit of a large peak-seldom climbed.

The NW face of Mt.Kerkeslin about 40km south of Jasper is a great spring route up the center snow face then enter the center ice/snow gully to the summit. The backside sports a huge glacier. Pic shot from the road.

The late Neil Kavaje in the early 1990s part way up the SE face of Diadem. The far snowy peak is Athabasca.

Ray Bernard starts up the base of the infamous feature The Pencil as fog drifts in. This is just part of the 700m route called Polar Circus. Crampon up at the road! Grade WI5 is about 300m further up.

This is the top 1/4 of EF of Mt. Patterson in Alberta. My buddy was hit by natural rockfall just above the big rock band. Spent 28 hrs in a tiny cave while I went over the top for help. Check out the stain on the snow where he dug w/an axe to stay warm! Wild epic!! I took the photo from a helicopter. At the time, he's still in there.

Ski touring up Mount Hector, white out got worse, visibility terrible.
