CONTACT: info@cdnalpine.com Box 40087 Canmore, Alberta T1W 3H9 Canada [About our Guides] [Prices & Booking] The Drip postings: Feb 2009 The Drip at the Center of the Universe must be one of the best routes of its kind in the world. Pitch after pitch of steep ice climbing directly up a big face in a spectacular setting! From the top of the ice climbing it is sometimes possible to continue up snow gullies and short rock sections all the way to the summit of Mt. Birdwood. Most people call it a day at the top of the ice however. The route doesn't form every year, but when it does it is easily visible on Mt. Birdwood from the Burstall Pass trails in Kananaskis Country.
