This is one of the best positions in the Rockies. Killer scenery, great position and good climbing. The route is about 65 minutes west of Banff. 10 minute approach. The cooliest thing is the cave at the end. The falls at one point went through this cave. The result was a super clean limestone wall. Your also climbing right beside the waterfall. Every person I have done this with say's that this is the most spectacular route they have ever done. First climbed in the 70's by the resident warden at the base Sid Mart. It used to have a 4 hour walk off. In 1990 Yamnuska guides Peter Harvey and Greg Golovach fixed the rap so that it could be done with 2 ropes. then in 1995 climbing superstar Joe (Mad Dog ) McKay replaced all of the anchors with bolted stations. He also replaced the often hard to find pitons (if they were there at all) through the crux sections. The result is that you can now get off of this climb with one rope ( 60 M is helpful as the rap to the pillar is exactly 25 M) If your coming to the Rockies no matter how hard you climb this route will make your day.
