Pete has spent many years enjoying the frozen waterfalls of the Canadian Rockies. This lecture will take you from the early steps of learning new skills with old tools, to the consolidation of competency on roadside ice, to the wild off road adventure to remote ice in the Ghost River Wilderness. During this talk Pete will be giving a nod to the generosity of those who have provided inspiration and support along the way.
