Short Season  Sucess!

Had a successful and fun day climbing with the guys and running out routes. Nice chilly and snowy day. Not so nice that I broke my left fibula skiing out due to deep soft snow and the 35lb pack. Skied the rest of the way to the parking lot and had a beer before ER. HA!

2nd Time Here  Sucess!

We did revolutions all day on the center flow left and right. Ice was fat, but delaminating quickly. Lots of people there as this may be the last weekend of the season. Good time had by all though.

Hey Moe!  Sucess!

First ice climbing trip with SMG. Conditions were a little sketchy here and there (loose /soft ice) but not enough to prevent us from climbing. Top roped two points near the "Moe" route.

Only a few lines  Sucess!

Pretty good ice on the falls, but only a three or so lines were in. It was a good day anyway with Doug, but a long drive home.

Good Times  Sucess!

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.

Still on in late season  Sucess!

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.
