South Park pillar

South Park pillar

A pretty thin at its base - we were afraid to swing our tools, so I was just hooking it in. A fun little pillar - most of the South Park is pretty easy ice, this one offered some excitement.

...pretty thin at its base...

Were you referring to the ice or uh... I mean... what were we talking about again?

Very nice shot regardless Liba. Good to see some ice up on the front page.

Re: ...pretty thin at its base...

THanks Mr. Chad. You should have heard how dull it sounded when I tried to swing my tool into it. I was happy to be on towrope and safe.
Thanks again.

Re: ...pretty thin at its base...

I'll have to assume dull sounding is bad. I've never been ice climbing. The climbers were out in full force a week ago in Yosemite, but I stuck to skating at the time. Something for the to-do list.

Re: ...pretty thin at its base...

I always admired ice climbers scaling frozen waterfalls in Washington state.

Their tools were out of this world !!!

Re: Nice

good luck with your monitor :) perhaps, reconsider swinging into something else.
Thanks for visiting.
