David Jones books don't cover ice climbing. The ice and mixed app is really the best bet. It's the old Joe Josephsen book but in an app

Ice and Mixed Climbing App: Western Canada

iOS and Android

Finally, a complete guide and App to the Canadian Rockies, and select routes in Western Canada. Helmcken Falls to the Ghost, every route.

Old copies of the last guidebook to the Canadian Rockies, Waterfall Ice, are selling on Amazon for $400 or more. This App has every route in that famous but out of print book, plus all the routes in Sean Isaac’s Mixed climbs, plus hundreds of new routes, in one App that is fully functional off-line. iOs and Android versions. All information curated by one of Canada’s most enthusiastic and well-known climbers, Will Gadd. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
