Awesome video featuring Matt Hendsbee, Miles Adamson, Marc Eveleigh, Zach Watson and Scott Eveleigh as they hike eight hours to find the best bouldering in the Bow Valley!
Last year Matt and I checked out a potential new climbing area in Wonder Valley near Lake Louise. We found a cluster of striking lines on huge boulders resting in a flat alpine meadow. With the boulders surrounded by a horseshoe cliff band, it couldn’t get much better! The only problem was getting there, on our reconnaissance trip we did 32 km, way too far for a day trip. Fast forward to this year, after months of planning and organizing Matt, Miles, Marc, Zach, and I were scheduled in for 5 days in the backcountry. It took us almost 9 hours to hike in over a ridge with three crash pads, 50+ lb back packs and more than 1000 meters of elevation gain. It was worth the effort and this is the result.
