Steve great pic of the Replicant, that must have been the 97' season when the Trophy wall got climbed a bunch by less than super hero status ice climbers.
I just returned from the region this week and had a super trip climbing in the meca of frozen vertical water. Trip report to follow but till then here are a couple shots from last week.

THE ice climbing destination to be sure!
Having recently seen Bruce Hendricks' shots of the FA on The Replicant it is amazing that those guys pulled that route off with about 1/3 actual coverage!

Climbed some ice today in -11 temps. It would crack in weird ways. Not real reasuring.

Have fun! I love that route. Best climb I've done in the area (though I've never done the Talisman... Big this winter I hear, so maybe this is the year!).

As the story goes, Alex Lowe found another good pin placement higher on the Sea of Vapors that made it a little less desperate on an early repeat.

I am not sure if it was the same season. Likely not as the FAers weren't pushing the repeat I bet. LOL

The Terminator was well on it's way during the Banff Festival. We didn't have a chance to drive around and see what else was forming up.

How about a friendly game of name that climb/area? Let's start with a couple easy ones.
Now for a tricky one, unless (major hint) you're from the Pacific Northwest.
