I'm pretty sure Sam Hall is in the green helmet, and the late Don Belliveau in white. Not sure who's climbing behind them.

Pete again. He climbed with tools he'd made himself... very Eastern Euro.
Other newbs that I recall being there were Marc Leblanc & Dave Lister.

I've climbed ice in a lot of places, but Parlee is one of my favourites. Relatively easy access, a long season, a good mix of routes and a beautiful location. Anything similar within a 4 hour drive of Vancouver would be crowded with 20 - 30 climbers (most from Washington state) every weekend of the frustratingly short west coast ice season.
