How to Rig a Canadian Flag on a Mountain

Ha Ling above Canmore provides an easy-access summit and a large, low angled upper wall. While it provides excellent climbing, on Canada Day, it doubles as a place to hang our mighty flag. If you’re looking for a way to celebrate Canada all summer, join the Tragically Hip on their final tour, for info on where to climb on the cross-country trip see here.
