This famous climb along the Icefields Parkway is one of the most sought after grade 6 routes in
the Rockies. After a short "warmup pitch" of WI5, a long and exciting pitch of vertical snow/ice
mushrooms brings us to the final pillar. This final pillar will challenge even the most fit ice
climbers with it's dead vertical nature and few places to rest. Sometimes there is even a small
ice roof to surmount at the top. This climb does not form every year, but when it does it is not
to be missed!
Location: Between Jasper and the Columbia Icefields. 2.5 hours from Canmore, 45 minutes from Jasper.
Length: 125m
Grade: WI 6
Logistics: Curtain Call is guided with a 1:1 guide to guest ratio only.
