A Bridge Too FarA nice day out with Hedd-wyn and Eugene. They let me take the first pitch, which was quite fun, with soft plastic ice but a bit rotten, so I had some difficulty finding good screws (as is typical for climbs in the sun). It was -24 C in the morning, but warmed up to +5 in the afternoon! We know a warm front was forecast, and were looking forward to it, so we got a late start. Despite that, we climbed all 3-4 of the main pitches, even though there was more ice to be found above. An aesthetic climb in a nice location close to Calgary.
