Gorillas in the mist





On thursday Greg Tos and I shot down the ol' trans canada highway towards that ice climbing mecca, Field to do the route "Superbok". At Field, all the climbs are named after beers and Its usually a good omen to have the route of choice's beer the night before the climb. According to my bro Jonsonite, Superbok was a really good summer ale that was brewed until a few years ago. A discontinued beer? Blaspheme! It appeared we were the first on the route this year as we postholed from pitch to pitch on a perfect warm and windless day, swinging the tools on a great waterfall. I must say that the day got the ice bug going again.......
