Here's some pictures I'd like to share from my recent trip to Ontario Canada. We guided a small group and some close friends. The view and scenery were truly amazing with breathtaking views of lake Superior and hilly mountain sides loaded with solid blue ice! If you've never climbed ice.... do it! Enjoy!
17 Trans-Canada Highway

The Lodge... with warm showers and running water!

The cabin

View from the cabin!

Looking down the beach

Kool frozen rocks

Snow shoeing to the climb

Gotta have a few Sherpas

Kool ice along the trail

First climb....

Me phriend




Second climb...

Me on the second climb

same climb

Me boot


Me and a phriend pondering on how to get the Rave unstuck!

-------------------- Stay Kool, and enjoy the bus ride.....

Glad to see somebody getting out and enjoying some great winter activities.
This forum doesn't get much traffic most of the year....it's practically dead during winter.

Yeah Jim...... this place is super slow, i bet this thread will still be here in the spring? Living in Michigan... you've gotta love winter activities!
PDU.... climbing ice is fairly easy, I'd say its easier than climbing rocks! If you can climb a ladder you can climb ice. Its different than rock because when you climb rock you have to use certain hand holds and when climbing ice anywhere you stick your tool(axe) or crampon is your hold. Is there ice climbing near you? If so just get there and check it out.... most climbers are really earthy laid back people that would be more than happy to help you get started. Or if you're really bored head over here to Americas high five (get it?) and i'll take you out!

The thing is too - Ive even got a really nice pair of Scarpa ice climbing/mountaineering boots (just add crampons)
Im SURE there must be ice climbing around here, but im not really in with the outdoorsy crowd.
However, Next year i will try it forsure, ive been planning on learning rock climbing when i get back from South America.. and am looking forward to meeting some new friends who are more earthy and outdoorsy where-ever i land upon return.
Thanks for the inspiration!
