The Wedge Aaron, my son, and I decided it was time to do The Wedge again. We tried to do it several years ago but we got rained out just as we got to the northeast face. This was the first mountain that I climbed when I came to Canada. Ben Gadd and I did it on Dec. 24, 1969 ... it was -30f ... we were probably one of the first to make a winter ascent.
