...hey ren, dude..... how 'bout Hydrophobia?
...man, SOV is more than WI, it's a fukkin nightmare, more like a frozen smear (as it's name suggests), not that I've done it... closest I got to seeing it was the day I was on Professor Falls.... man it looks really scary, especially when you see Terminator right next to it..... poopin' alright, that's for sure!!!!!
...what about Borgeau up near sunshine village.... I did that one quite a few years back. The bottom was very thin at the time, but once we gained some height the ice became awesome! Almost 300m of pure petrifying poop packin' puffin'...... nah, it was a dream climb... bloody awesome! Watch for avalanche though.... but you know the drill, yeah?

I wonder if at certain times during the winter anything will freeze here in NC up in the mountains. I hate all ya'll from Colorado; you can rock climb now and in a couple months will have ice climbing. Go ahead and rub it in though.

Snow level dropping down to 3500 ft today in northern Montana. Freeze up is looking good. Possibly ice at the 9,000 ft level. !!!! Could be an early season folks. I think the rock climbs I had in mind could become alpine climbs in a hurry. Does that mean its ok to wear my crampons and axes (Hehee - Forgive me chalk hounds). I love 5-9 with the tools. Ice makes the rotten rock my freind. How is the weather up north boys? Rendog and Kman - we have to stop meeting like this. I may be up in Canmore in a few weeks if this rain continues. I will have to hit the back of the lake at Louise under the friendly roof keeping it all dry. Keep me posted on the freeze up. No WiVI for me but would love to follow. 7 Days of rain in the forcast. We better get the goods early season because it looks like a big snow year comming our way. Id give you a wish list but all my ambitions have been directed toward Glacier Park. Many of those WIV climbs are still un named. I have not had a chance to look north beyond the iron curtain. Always looking for new and exciting mixed routes - Lead on boys. ~ Greg F.
