great place

I visited the park many times, live 40 min away and am pretty much a weekly visitor during the season. climbed in all areas of the ice park.
Unfortunately, getting really busy during the weekends and holidays.

Five days of fun !  Sucess!

Climbed with Mike Busby for five days: Schoolroom, New Funtier, South Park, Scottish Gullies and the Shithouse Wall.

Led a couple of WI3's in South Park -- my first ice leads in three years.

--
Climbed with Steve for 3 days in Feb. 2009. Started in the Schoolroom, then moved on to South Park, New Funtier, and the Scottish Gullies areas.

--
Also spent 4 days here with Calvin Kilcrease in Feb. 2006 - areas included the Schoolroom, South Park, and New Funtier, mostly WI3-4. Incredible ice everywhere - I thought I had died and gone to heaven ...

Great climbing!  Sucess!

Headed down with Haliku and Axe. It was a great trip that provided more routes than we had time. Excited to return and put the new crampons to use.

Ouray Ice Park  Sucess!

14 routes in 2 days, great opportunity for Zach to gain a ton of experience in a short time. He was willing to do the driving, so how could I resist. We did two routes the night we got there completely in the dark with headlamps. He said that actually helped him more than just about anything. Can't wait to get some of the back country done in this area. Don't know if that will happen since I go to Canada so much, but I have to admit, it was nice climbing in 0+C for a change.

snow camped for 2 weeks and did every route in the guide and then some! were leading 2 levels stronger by the end. did some routes in the middle of night under a full moon. good photography practice for my friend...she took some good ones of us silouetted from the refletion of our lamp lights off the ice, surrounded by the glow of the moon off the ice. pretty cool.
