Ice climbing is a popular activity in Canada, and this ice climber is slowly making their way up this sheet of ice in the Upper Falls of the Johnston Creek. This is part of Banff National Park, which is part of the Rockies Mountains.

Ice climbing is a sport that is increasing in popularity throughout countries that have colder climates, such as Canada, and although many consider it an extreme sport, due to the increasing popularity it is becoming more available to those who want to at least try what it feels like to climb a completely vertical sheet of ice.

This ice climber is on the Upper Falls of the Johnston Creek during the winter in Johnston Canyon, which is part of Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Alberta. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site so it is protected against any development and will be kept in as natural state as can be in this changing world we live in.

... waterfall, such as the Johnston Falls in the Johnston Canyon, is the perfect place to do some ice climbing as it's not only in nature but it adds a degree of danger and excitement to those looking for a rush. There are different kinds of ice climbing however, alpine ice and water ice, and each one requires different equipment as the ice is different, so you cannot drift easily from one to another. Also, with any sport that involves a certain amount of danger, as this one obviously does, then it is not advisable to do this alone. Always take someone with you and let people know where you are going; this sport may be getting more popular and more accessible, but it is still dangerous and nature must be respected.
