[MCR] Jasper ice

Here's a bit of an update from the last few days doing some ice around Jasper.
Dec 3rd -Tangle Falls good climbing, gets the sun for these colder
days. Good beginner training area. The small falls to the right look
good as well.
Dec 4th. Edge of the World. Filled in quite a bit this week. Upper
pitch has some good variations, lower pitch is a bit wet on the right
but good pro (easy 3). Large block above the lower pitch uses a pin
and a thread to build anchor to rap to the bottom. This may be iced
up enough in the next week or so to build an ice anchor on top.
Dec 4pm climbed BS canyon. The one main short grade 2-3 pitch takes
good pro to protect stepping over the toilet bowl feature formed
behind the lower part of the pitch. A bit wet in places but building fast.
Both of the last 2 climbs have improved considerably over this last week.
