Comments

All pitches of the North Sunwapta Canyon were very wet today. The last pitch was wet and still forming. Climbable but challenging ice. Definitely bring your gore-tex.

We climbed the South Canyon a few weeks ago and all of the pitches are in as well.

First Pitch wasn't in, but is easily walked around.
