So after Saturday's gong show of driving all over the Bow Valley, you'd be forgiven for assuming Katherine and I would find something to do other than rock climbing on Sunday.

But you'd be wrong. Super, super wrong.

See, the upshot of driving all over the Bow Valley is that we also go to scope out what was in and what wasn't and one thing we saw that was in was Aftonroe. Aftonroe is 8 or 9 pitches (depending on how you do things) up to 5.7. Lots of slab, super pleasant route. We didn't jump on climbing it Saturday because by the time we were somewhere we could scope it out, it was too late in the day to realistically start up it.

So, we came up with a plan.

We decided to rope some friends of ours - Suze and Bode - into joining us. While they don't normally go in for this sort of early season shenanigans (something about not enjoying misery), Bode's having ACL surgery later this week so this would be her last chance to get on rock for a few weeks.

We met up at 8am in Calgary, stopped in Canmore for breakfast and then were hiking up to the climb by 10am.
