Description Suggest change

The main attraction of Kootenay ice. The Gibraltar Wall is a wide, impressive curtain at almost 150m tall. There are many lines ranging from WI3-WI5, and it's well worth a visit.

Climb 3-4 pitches of ice depending on how you break it up. Bolted anchors do exist on the right side of the route in various places as a rappel line, but can be doubled up as belay anchors in some cases.
