Venom and Antifreeze are New West Coast Mixed/Ice Lines

Marc-Andre Leclerc has returned home from a short trip to Poland where he climbed Russian Roulette M8- WI5 with Luka Lindic. Leclerc teamed up with Tim Nielson and climbed two new routes in the Superheroes Cirque near Hope. On West Coast Ice, Leclerc noted Antifreeze M6- 30m climbs a thing smear right of the established Mr. Freeze and then heads up an overlap to reach the ice on Mr. Freeze.

He notes the second route Venom WI6+ 30m climbs a steep yellow pillar 20 metres right of Mr. Freeze. Climbers have been chasing the good ice conditions with ascents of many West Coast classics, including Scottish Tale near Squamish.

Starting up the FA of 'Venom' WI6+ at the Superheroes Cirque near Hope, B.C. An interesting and demanding pitch. #arcteryx #lyofood #dmmclimbing
