The Terminator Wall area actually consists of The Terminator,
The Replicant, Sea of Vapours and other lines, seen L from
the trail by the Bow river, and R from the base of the wall. These climbs
are probably some of the most sort after "hard" routes in the
Rockies. In the 96-97 season stories of line-ups, (sometimes not to orderly)
were heard. The 96-97 ice season also saw two Canadian climbers complete
solos of all three routes in one day.
At the time of its first ascent, Sea of Vapours was given the top grade
of 7+. Subsequent seasons have produced a different climb, with much thicker
ice, when it was generally regarded about "5". This may reflect
a change in the drainage patterns on Mt. Rundle. |
