Mt. Alberta's North Face in Near-Winter

In late March, Vince Anderson and Steve House climbed a new route on the north face of Mt. Alberta in the Canadian Rockies—the first time this legendary face has been ascended in "near-winter" conditions. House has generously provided this slide show to give a taste of the adventure. All photos and captions courtesy of Steve House. Read more about the ascent HERE

Vince at the base of the upper headwall, the end of the sixth belayed pitch. This is where the real climbing begins. The wall gets very steep and the rock very solid and compact.
