We had a couple of days in the Field area despite the high avalanche danger! We’d heard that Circus Circus, a rarely formed classic route, was in good condition. Then, after the Park Service had done some avalanche control on Mount Denis, we stole a day on Carlsberg Column…
We also visited another easily accessed and close by (to Canmore) venue, Johnston Canyon… Pete Frost dropped his crampons on the walk out – so if anyone finds them you know where to get in touch … comments below! 😉
After a ten year break (!) we returned to Canada to get stuck in to some of what is likely the world’s best ice climbing… The trip was advertised as a joint Alpine Club and Climbers’ Club meet. But there was a surprisingly low take up, just 5 of the 9 available spaces were taken. …

We’re recently back from a couple of weeks in France, what an amazing (and weird?) series of spring weather conditions we had though…
I'm just back from a week of ice climbing with Joe on the CC's meet at Norway's famous and reliable frozen playground, Rjukan ...
