What a great weekend! A group of 7 motivated women, one amazing camp manager, and 4 hard working guides enjoyed 4 days of ice climbing in and around the Field area. This year I thought I would book the Fireweed Hostel. I had seen it on the web and it looked great…truth is…it ended up …
I recently found my Gravsports password and signed in rather then being a continual spider. I had new mail….no wait…it was over a year old…and it was from Will. Saying congrats on finally being a member and that next year I was invited to Spray camp for real. Ha…how ironic is that…cause that’s where I …
What a fabulous weekend! Wonderful group of women, great weather and perfect conditions allowed for 2 days of learning and getting after it! Day one, we headed to the junkyards. A morning of learning the basics, followed by an afternoon of getting lots of mileage in. Colleen even managed to do a lead! So much …
Got out the past couple days off with some good friends for some personal days of climbing. John and I were motivated to try Kitty Hawk and Unicorn…but as it rained on our drive down the David Thompson we soon had reservations about being under the bowl all day. Kitty Hawk did not look in, …

After much humming and haing over snow conditions, avalanche hazard, wind and temperatures, we decided to give Guinness a try with the hopes of continuing on to Guinness Stout but feeling it out as we went. By the time we actually left the …
I just returned from a week trip to Bozeman. This was my 5th year attending the Hyalite Bozeman Icefest and by the far the most fun, inspiring, and motivating year I have attended… Where do I start? I came here 5 years ago with my bud Jen Olson. We participated in the Icebreaker and had …
Got a call the other day from Will Gadd asking if I would want to work the next day. I was supposed to go climbing with Margo, but luckily she let me take the work as it ended up being 3 days of pretty fun and amusing rigging work for a Quaker Oats commercial. The …
The past week I was fortunate enough to be asked by Sean Isaac to join him and Erica Roles in working the annual ACC ice week. 10 amazing participants from as far as Thunder Bay and the UK came for this week of ice skills and fun. Normally this week has run beside the Banff …
