Adamant Group, Northern Selkirks. On July 16 and 17 Rob Taylor, Bill Thompson and I climbed the southwest ridge of Ironman in the Adamant group. The climb involved 1400 feet of mixed free and aid climbing on very solid rock. NCCS IV or V, F7, A2. This climb was a part of the British Columbia Mountaineering Club’s summer expedition, which camped two weeks on the Austerity Glacier. Another new route was the south face of Austerity by Rob Kirby and Rich Miller.
