Canadian Ice

 Jack Stratton leading Wicked Wanda, Ghost River Valley, Alberta.

The Ghost is located north of Canmore and is only accessible by several hours of interesting adventure driving. The valley is a wild and remote place, known for it's steep limestone walls, beautiful ice, and inhospitable weather. The incredible ice formations on this climb are formed by persistent high winds.

This is a tough shot with a small climber on a large chuck of ice and less than perfect light.  The larger I blow it up, the better I like it.  I'd say that this would work best as one of a series in which the other shots pull in tighter on the climber and the ice.  I know - easier said than done.  I'd like to see more.
