Ventured into Evan Thomas Creek on Thursday with my room mate Jacynthe. It had been around 6 or 7 years, as best I could remember, since the last time I had visited this area to climb. Oddly enough there has been some recent development further up the canyon at an area that has been dubbed the 'Rehab Wall'. The quality of the routes is actually quite high and the potential exists for at least double the number of lines already established. To top it off, the quality of pure ice routes is good as well so there is a great mix for all levels of climbers to enjoy, all in one spot! Hard to believe this area was only discovered a few years ago?.
Moonlight and Snowline in great condition. Climbers visible
on Moonlight and at the 2/3 tree on Snowline.
Jass rappelling down 'Green Monster'. A mixed line called
'Yoga Monster' links the rock to the ice on the right.
The 'Rehab Wall' An M7 called Physio-Therapy
links the rock to the hanging ice in the center.

The 'Team'. I was actually having lots of fun, honest! Just a little cold from being wet :)
