Tom Ryan and I headed up to Lillooet BC this past weekend for another round of ice climbing. Despite the warm end of winter temps we are still finding dam good ice in the higher and shadier area's. On Saturday we climbed "Red Wall Wanderer" (WI 5, 6p) and on Sunday we went to Marble Canyon and climbed "Fender Bender" (WI 5+/6, 1p) amongst other things. Here are some photos...
