Banff National Park, Canadian Rockies, Alberta, Canada Geant des Tempetes, Fournel. Alps, France Climbers tackle Oh le tabernacle !. Canada Rappeling from an ice climb in Rifle Canyon, Colorado. USA The route had apparently stirred the interest of a number of locals, but no one had had the nerve and persistence to make a serious attempt. On the second attempt, the route appeared even less in, in contrast with the nearby Gift , still fat with ice. This was the last opportunity of the season. Starting to climb at 8am, we had managed to snatch the route from the gods who guard improbable ascents. Like thieves, we had finished under cover of darkness. But as if those gods had summoned the police, a witness mistakenly thought we were in trouble, and Mounties arrived on the scene at the end of an almost 24 hour day of effort. The new route, put up by a pair of transplanted Californians, is called The Theft, V 6R.. Lilloet, British Columbia, Canada Rappeling down from Lower Weeping wall.

Canada Stalactite of the Moulins Falls, La Grave. Alps, France Mountain Goat and Oh le tabernacle !. Canada Climbing in Provo Canyon, Utah. USA This line has two parts quite distinct in character: the first includes a pitch whose base looked very sketchy from the road, and the chimney, of which the inside was not visible. The second is the partially free-standing huge column, which is visibly very steep, sustained, and complex. Lilloet, British Columbia, Canada Starting up on Sea of Vapors.
