Annual New Route Summary 2020

Have you or your friends climbed a first ascent in the alpine in the Rockies? Feel like letting others know about your new alpine, ice, mixed, or rock route? Please get ahold of me with the information.

For the past few years I have been writing an annual summary of new route activity in the Canadian Rockies for the Canadian and American Alpine Journals. It is a great way to stay current with what our community is up to, and a great way to get ideas for routes to go and climb.

This year I had the opportunity to climb a few days with Stas Beskin after he and two other friends established the awe-inspiring ice line pictured to the right. It is exciting to see what the climbers are up to these days.
