A short fun route leading into a little cave/frost pocket left of the main seep.

Stick that biotch!

named Cousin Ironman(I loved the Buttermilks). Little more than 5 minutes hike up the iced up Grizzly Creek from Hwy#40 get to a ice spill. Directly across is a fun, tricky traverse on bomber rock that accepts pick placements too well.

Dave Marra gives us a pep talk on the first attempt on a 1000m ice/alpine line up the east face of Mt.Inflexible. He later did the first ascent during better conditions and the route is called FunFun.

Got this shot whilst hunting for pixies in K-Country. The best place to hide is behind the beards that are left hanging in the trees to dry.

Near the edge of Mt.Gibralters summit in a rainy storm, eerie and quiet.

Building multiple cairns on Mt.Gibralter so as not ot get lost on descent.

This is a shot of Fancy Nancy making her way up the third snow covered pitch ... in much better spirits mind you!

This is a pic of Sinatra Falls from about 20 minutes away.

Dec.06.04 -19° C *Tip: don't stick anything metal in your mouth when it's this cold out! - - "someone" with me learned this the hard way.

This is taken below 'The Fortress' at Fortress lake. This is easily my favorite place on earth. I spent quite a few days in this area last summer. Anyone else been down there?

Climbing the towering sign that greats visitors at the entrance to Kananaskis Country.

The 5.6 north ridge route on gap Mtn near Highwood Pass can be seen with a dusting of snow.

Gav heading for the summit of Mt.Strom, a big peak to the NW of Assiniboine

Line showing the new route on Mt.Roberta, 'Hangglider's Gully'(5.6)- six pitches mainly 5.3/4 and loads of scrambling up a mega loose gully, tip-toeing is an mastered art here. Wear 2 helmuts! If choss every becomes hip to climb this will be a local classic. The anchors are sketch at best, a perfect route to freak out any granite specialist! It's a only-way-off-is-up route, unless rapping off slung scree and body weight gear is your forte.

Starting the first of 3 pitches of Snowline.

pondering a way over a crevasse on the far left glacier on the north side of Mt.Sir Douglas.

Gavin does a little ice bouldering in the terminus of a crevasse laced with dirt stripes at the base of the north glacier of Mt.Sir Douglas.

Well known as Canada's Matterhorn, the distant middle peak, Mt.Assiniboine, is one Canada's famous peaks sitting at 3618m in height.

a nice cairn stands guard over the north face of Mt.Sir Douglas on the very long approach.

K-country. The approach was brutal; the ice was thin; but the sun was shining and we loved it.

Kananaskis forest and mountains. Taken from the second belay station on an almost gruelling ice climb
