New Rockies Ice Line is Big Game Hunter WI5+

A number of ice routes in the Ghost are in, including the newly climbed 120-metre Big Game Hunter WI5+. Chris Meginbir, Steven Kovalenko and Maurice Perreault approached for over two hours and gained nearly 700 metres of elevation to reach the base of the new route on Oct. 27. The line forms up a valley south of the popular Silver Tongue Devil WI5+. Big Game Hunter formed on the northeast face of Mount Costigan. More info here.

Found a possible unclimbed 5+ gem in the Ghost thanks to the tireless efforts of Maurice Perreault – great day out with the boys @devils_head_coffee #ice #iceclimbing #climb #climbing #ascensionfitness #training #winter #firstascent #ghostriverice #iceclimbingimages #grippedmagazine #canadianrockies #canadaice
