Ice climber death on Parkway
Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 8:18 pm
I read in the Asheville paper a man died ice climbing off the Blue Ridge this last week. Does anybody have further information that we could learn from this tragic event? I was ice climbing at 215 a couple weeks ago and although the ice looked fat, it was very detached, water running behind, and would be a lead you could not fall on. The warmer temps have wreaked havoc on the ice this last week.
