Cool looking umbrellas!
Finally talked isa into a break from the pow pow and back to ice climbing. i almost forgot how:( I was a noob and forgot my crampons but we found a coupple of 30m climbs that we could lower off of and switch out the poons. Super cold and windy but nice, sunny and sheltered where we were.

on a slightly colder note;) More fresh, why am I going climbing?
A. Because it's The Lake with Alden:) Alden needs to get psyced for his trip to NewfoundlandI went home to plow the road and have a hot soak in the shower. Alden went to Cannon to have a look @ The Black Dike solo and then points north to Newfoundland

Believe it or not, it actually rained and snowed a little today. So we climbed under the house.
Yesterday we got in 4 routes, so it was a good weekend.

WOW! Burly start! I backed of something yesterday that was steep, thin, baked, unprotectable without the yellow alien that was in the car. ended up onthe only other free line available. a somewhat mellow 3 pitch 4+ but I was able to find a steep finish on P3

Climbing in the down means it must have been cold. It was cold in the South Fork about 10 degrees but still had to shed the down. Only followed that pitch, but it was a doosey. 6 inch pillar to start with no swinging and only smearing your crampons for the first 25 feet for fear it would fall down. Then 160 more steep feet to a hanging belay with another 4++ pillar above it. Then some rolling ice and an easy pitch to the last one that we did not have time to finish. Here is a picture of the last pitch. not a bad day for starting out the day driving from spearfish at 3:45am and getting to the south fork parking lot at 11.
