Got an email from Garry Phillips in Canada, and some photos below:
Hi there John
Hope all is well.
Can you make up a page for our road trip on the sarvo please, ill send photos through soon. Here is a little writing though
Well we have been on the road now for 3.5 weeks. We managed to climb some great ice and mixed routes in the Canadian Rockies. High lightsd for us werr Polar Circus 5 Whitemans falls 5+ and a heap of mixed routes up to M8. Also a load of other waterfalls, but to many to name.
However the avalanche conditions on the northern slopes prevented some risk so we decided to bail early and head to indian creek.
This place is rad, splitter cracks every where. Its good to be back on warm rock . At the moment we are both preparing ourselves for yosemite, trying my best on all crack types. Off widths the hardest. Man im glad i have the big green cam!
We are camping in the desert its so special, all the stars, the towers and the howling dogs at night. Not to mention the warm camp fires. Last night there was a sand storm, we got covered in sand and then later it hailed!
We ticked some super classics here all ready supercrack, 3am crack, incredible hand crack, scarface etc etc. Its just so good.
Scarface was a bit of a battle being tight hands, but i was psyched to onsighted it.
I wish all of you back home could be here to see it. The cracks are like they have been lazer cut, either side of them is smooth blood red
walls. Its so good. One of the hard parts is deciding between simon and i who goes for the onsight!
any way take care all
