East to West Ice Climbing Album

Photos from a Top Climber Who Brings the Camera

Peter Hoang has recently moved to the Canadian Rockies from Ontario to be closer to the mountains and routes that inspire him. He’s travelled around the world climbing classic remote peaks, but some of his favourite days out are shooting Canadian climbers on steep ice routes across Canada. The following images are some of Hoang’s favourites from his many years documenting winter climbing.
