Maligne Canyon Ice Climbing

Fear is not something to be afraid of but overcome and used a tool; it teaches us where our limits are. This shot is of some ice climbers on a frozen waterfall at Maligne Canyon. It is one of the deepest river canyons found in the Canadian Rockies at 55m (180 ft). The canyon is part of a predominantly underground river system that runs between Medicine Lake and the Athabasca River. The Canyon is in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

This shot was taken on an Canon EOS 6D with ISO 400 and 1/40 sec exposure time at f/4.5 , 26mm using a Canon EF 16-35 F4L IS.

Yes it was very very very cold !
