Searching for early season ice, we went to Bow Falls
today. We climbed a couple of lines on the lower right hand apron, which had
plenty to choose from in the WI 2 – 4 range up to two pitches. The
regular Bow Falls line further left looks climbable but probably a bit tougher
(WI 5ish?) than usual. Also Pointless Gully looked climbable with
relatively little overhead avalanche hazard currently. The regular summer trail
travels well and is for most part well tracked in. Only the Icefield Parkway sported some very icy
sections.
