Trad yeah that is the rigid. My younger brother did a great job on it. It was a lot tougher than when I did it last year.

ice is all about the conditions... One day to the next can be a full grade but you still get the same credit ;) As my friend Alden says you don't get extra credit for doing a grade 3 in grade 5 conditions.. A phenomenon that occasionally happens in Smuggs (mostly because the grade 3 was so sandbagged to start with)…. Awesome job for both of you.. Jaybro, that windgate looks awesome but cold!

No doubt, but it works much better to do grade 5 in grade 3 conditions for me.

Just barely warm enough that day, Darwin!
Warmer today on the summit of Big Mesa, with Courthouse, Monitor, Merrimac and Lost World Buttes in the distance

Big Blizzard coming. Isa is back from California but not ready to ice climb. She is a bit rattled by what happened to our friend Steve Charest who had a fixed tat anchor blow on him while working Christmas week.https://www.gofundme.com/stephen-charest-recovery-fund Anyways without my partner I naturally had to go winter hikeing in Franconia NH. A quick run up the easy 600ft Cinema gully to try and Find cauliflower Gully which I had never done before. Some Dartmouth kids on the last pitch of Cinema The trail was packed from the top of Cinema which was a good thing as it is much farther of a hike than I would have expected and I likely would nor have found the climb? the bad news is that when I arrive at Cauliflowwer gully it is a bottleneck with several parties cued up and battleing each other for the skinny crux. The temps were in the low single digits and the ice was bulletproof and quite brittle. the crux was brittle and sporty Waiting my turn this actually a really cool 70m pitch and pretty fun once I got into it :) the Rat had a tasty meal... Top of Mt Willard The face of Mt Willard. Cinema goes up the middle of the big rock face whice is good slab climbing in the summer. Cauliflower Gully is just visible through the storm way up high on the left
