Did some climbing on Reality Check today. It is fatter at the top than
at the bottom, which makes for the steepest climbing I've had there
yet. Sustained WI5 for 45 m. The ice is solid and takes full length
screws well. There are two climbable lines on the falls, but the
climber's left one has lots of chandeliers. The access from the bottom
of the Ski Smithers chairlift is fast and easy. Do bring skis.
