"Sport Ice" :)

Fun stuff. I did this once too - placed screws while climbing on toprope, then lowered off and pulled the rope. Then led it ground-up clipping the screws as I went. Perhaps a little more worrisome on sunbaked ice though =:-O

Well. . .

It was my very first lead on ice, and my second time on an ice climb. I have led a lot of rock ,so it didn't feel too different. I ended up placing a screw near the top but I forgot a quickdraw!!

Correction

Sorry, wrong pic, this was a later climb. I did do that on my first lead.

Re: Correction

No worries - saw the two unclipped draws above the climber in the pic and figured that was what was going on ... cheers !
