A great introductory multipitch ice climb on Cascade Mountain near Banff. This is the slightly easier route to the left of Cascade Falls that winds it’s way up a very cool slot canyon with 4 main pitches and lots of shorter ice steps. Early in the season there can even be a fun little section of moderate mixed climbing half way up. The descent involves some scrambling and a rappel to complete this adventurous day out!
