Helmcken Falls Evening Lecture: with Tim Emmett & Will Gadd from 7:30pm.
In 2010 Tim Emmett and Will Gadd received a Golden Piton award for climbing the spray ice wall on the 463-foot Helmcken Falls in British Colombia, Canada. They called the resulting pitch Spray On and rated it WI10 - three grades harder than any other pure ice climb.

Equipment notes.
Plas y Brenin are kindly supplying boots and crampons for use on the artificial ice climbing wall. DMM are supplying axes for use on all tooling routes. You are welcome to bring your own equipment, although rock boots are mandatory for the dry tooling routes to avoid damaging the climbing wall.
