It's a long drive from SF in the winter, when Tioga pass is closed!

I've done this a number of times over the years with various partners, along with Spiral Staircase. Always lots of fun.

This was my first time ice climbing and I loved it. I went with a great group of Spers and they were all very helpfull. I think I got to demo at least four or five sets of ice tools. Thanks to Miguel,Joan,Fred,Will,Kevin,Kanyu and Carlos. I can't wait to go back.

we weren't sure what we would find in late march. bard-harrington was bone dry. chouinard was going off though. it was my partner's first ice lead and my sixth or seventh follow. no sign of anyone else over three days. it was beautiful.

Fred BagniMany Times - Good Times

Climbed there many times... Easy access... Nice people... Share your rope please...

The main wall never really came in this year... Strange... Everything else was fat...

Holy cow! I can't thank the "team" enough for getting me on the ice for the first time! Miguel, Andrew, Dave, Fred and Tina were a blast to climb with and totally patient with my new ass. From what I recall, I climbed a few WI3 routes on the Main Wall...according to Miguel's book. Loved it!

First time there: the Bard-Harington was huge and solid. We climbed directly up the middle on moderate, very protectable terrain (a bit exciting with only 6 screws total). Certainly a beautiful (though crowded) place and a priviledge to climb in such nice conditions. THANKS MURPHY'S.

stormjThat was February? Yup.
Date Climbed: Feb 2, 2007
We went to Bard-Harrington on Saturday and it was downright tropical and the ice was plastic, a good place for me to learn. Sunday, well that was a different story. It wasn't super cold, but it was snowing and Chouinard was crowded.

The ChiefLVC is Home!

Started coming here as a young lad and have been so doing since! I loved it soooo much that now I live down the road and come up at least once a week! I pretty much stay on the B/H Wall and stick to the more challenging thin lines from center over. But, when I have family and friends come out for the first time, it's up the Casual over to the Direct finish up Hob Nails. Thank You SC&E for allowing us the previlage to keep playing here.
***PLEASE*** IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A DUMP IN THE CANYON, PLEASE, PLEASE PACK IT OUT AND THE REST OF ANY DEBRIS THAT YOU MAY HAVE...PLEASE!!!!PERMISSION TO REMAIN PLAYING HERE IS ON A VERY THIN BASIS WITH SC&E!
