Here some new photos from the Sam's camera about our climb of the Real Big Drip (M7, WI6). This is classic route in Ghost Walley. From Canmore you take the Trans Canada Highway towards Calgary. You take the exit to Morley and continue on the Bow Valley Trail east. after few kilometers you take the left turn on the Forestry Trunk Road (40). The road take first north and gradually turns to the west. You drive on this road until it intersects with Richards road. After you take Richards to the north but just for few meter, and you turn again left on the Township road. This road brings you to the gorge of the Ghost river. You must cross the river, which is not so difficult during winter and continue south for approx 1 km. The Real Big Drip is situated on the east-north side of the Orient Mountain. Approach from the river gorge will take you about 1-1.5 h. Depends how much snow is there. Good luck! It is a must do ice fall in Rockies in my opinion!
