Ryan, a fellow SLU grad and friend from New Paltz came up to do some ice climbing. And we did some.
We started the day in the Wilmington Notch. We climbed a grade 3 called Multiplication Gully. It was actually my first multi-pitch ice climb. The conditions were definitely thin, but hey, I wasn't leading...very much fun.
After that, we took a lunch break at the house (cause, you know, it's so close by), and then we headed over to the Pitchoff quarry. There is some long steep ice there for sure. And it's starting to come in even. The routes were steep and long enough that I even got a slight pump going. Ye-heah.
So, thoughts...
Ice Climbing is fun.
I've got work to do.
Hope it stays cold.
