20 Rad February #GrippedMagazine Photos

Winter is half over and while parts of Canada sometimes have an early spring, it seems this year might be an exception. Lots of snow from the West to East Coast with freezing temps. It’s great for ice climbers and some rock climbers have braved the temps. Here are 20 #GrippedMagazine photos from Instagram the past two weeks.

Wohooo! February 12th! Warm temperatures in the Canadian Rockies! Stoked to get on some rock again! Annika crushing at Juno Wall today. @rockaboo_inc

In the Canadian Rockies, during the winter, you will see tiny black specks moving up these frozen waterfalls all along the road. They are ice climbers. Can you find the climber?

Fun day out at Haffner yesterday. It was not nearly as busy as we expected with the crappy Avy forecast, great to see lots of friends there too. Here's a shot from the day. @pfaff_anna heading up Fight Club, M8ish

Throwback to one of the most unique climbing destinations I have seen. Utah has too much to offer. Waiting for the day I get back here to Maple Canyon. Rocks on rocks.

When you're red line pumped and terrified of the big runout below you but you still need to make that one more hard move before you can clip the next draw and take a deep breath. Stay focused. Commit. . @kimstagraham.mcg captured that moment for me on the crux of Dante’s Inferno, 5.13d in #elsalto #mexico . @butoracanada @climbbutora #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #rockclimbing #climbinglife #doyouclimb #iloveclimbing #livingthedream #grippedmagazine #escaladamexico #mexicoclimbing

Cienega de Gonzales is a popular weekending spot for quadders, and one of the frequently used trails runs right past Las Animas wall. La Boca is a great crag to hit up on Saturdays and Sundays for a little bit more solitude in #elsalto.

Parleys canyon last weekend. Iron Curtain (.10c). Thanks for the awesome photo @nolaning13 . I'm looking pretty fly with my eyes closed.

Just a reminder that #squamish really is all sunshine and rainbows ☀️?⛰❤This was my "I survived" face after climbing some good old friction slab mixed climbing in the rain at the smoke bluffs- somehow all the whining helped me pull through 😉 #tradisrad #womenonlead #timetoclimb #flashfoxy #andshesdopetoo #aacgram #grippedmagazine #womenthatclimb #womenwhoclimb #climbinglife #sportofclimbing #climbingisbliss #wonderfulwildwomen #climbingrocks #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #beautifulbritishcolumbia

What scares you? If you have the experience, fear is healthy and shouldn't be crippling. With climbing I find that focus, experience and patience overcome fear. Hard aid climbing is all about the above attributes – and having the right gear and partner. #yosemite #elcap #climbing #verticalcamping @metoliusclimbing

Tracey (@ausrockhugger) battles the wind to the top of "Sweet Dreams", 14, Blue Mountains NSW. We could barely talk let alone climb with the wind!

A little throwback Thursday action to our Polar Circus adventure the other week. Each time I look at the frames from this sequence I just can't stop thinking about how @quentinlroberts some how managed to stay alive up there. If you haven't already be sure to read the full interview with Quentin over at @grippedmagazine (link in my profile). It's a true tale of Human survival! @avalanchecanada @petzl_official

View of Fitz Massif from Domo Blanco. The weather system on top of Fitz that day followed no general pattern in the area and had a mind of its own. It seems like if you were on top of Fitz during that time you would have been able to cross into another dimension, into a parallel universe!
