thanks for visiting. Yes, truly a special place for ice climbers (although many complain about routes being climbed too much, having steps etc). I usually visit about once a week during the season.
for anyone who has yet to visit the ice park,you are missing out. the people and the setting are superb. its also a great place to bump into your climbing heros as the the pros climb along side mere mortals. support the ice park, you'd be hard pressed to find another.
Thanks for the comment. Agreed - pretty unusual, and all gratis, so getting the park membership and supporting the park is not asking that much...(+ the membership gives you many discounts in local restaurants and hotels, + some shops).
