Ice... not snow...

I managed to get out on two ice climbing trips in the last couple weeks. Pretty rad.

The first was up to a place called Pitchoff. It's a really fun little cliff where you can do lots of top-roping. We setup a couple of ropes and just had fun in the sunny weather.



That thar's the climbs. We're ready to rumble.

Vesna challenged us to try this pretty easy climb without ice axes... she went for it successfully and Pat followed.



There was also a mixed route (involves both rock and ice climbing) that Vesna and Pat managed to climb. It was pretty freaking hard looking and burly.



I enjoyed not destroying myself on the mixed stuff and enjoyed the good ice that we found at Pitchoff as compared to Cohoes. I feel like my climbing is getting better and this makes me pretty happy.

I was going to post about the other climbing... but I skied all day today and am pretty exhausted, I think I'll fall asleep instead. Goodnight.
