In the winter this mountain becomes alive to the ice climbing community. The most common of the ice climbs is known as "Elliot's left hand", though canyons and creeks around this mountain also have some lesser known ice climbs; the two that will be discussed on this day's adventure are Kittyhawk and the aforementioned Elliot's Left Hand.
The parking area for both of these waterfalls is on a side road off of the Highway (Hwy11) labeled Range Road 180A. This road will veer down towards Abraham Lake, though in the winter is not completely kept plowed. The good news is the plows apparently keep the inlet of the road clear, allowing for a slightly larger pull over off of the highway.
Note: I noticed a sign on my approach from Cline River, however did not see one on my return towards Nordegg.
