What Bill is doing now!

With another ice climbing season behind me, I am refocused on rock. I will be spending a lot of time in Squamish this summer climbing on the Chief in preparation for the larger objectives to come later.

Those larger objectives include the west face of Mt. Thor, located in Baffin island (July). Mt Thor is an uninterrupted 1250 meter wall averaging 105 degrees angle – (slightly overhanging). This objective will take about 10 days, 3-4 of which will be spent on the wall itself. I also am planning to check off in August the mega classic Beckey-Choinard route on the South Howser Tower in the Bugaboos and in September, The Devil’s tower in Wyoming. Stay tuned for updates.
