There is something really wrong with ice climbers. Twisted bunch of mother copulators.
And I really admire them. Ice was my Achille's heel and I wish that had gotten good at it. Those who are good at ice deserve the utmost respect and admiration.

Funny because the route above is called California Ice but it ain't in California. I would be happy to repeat this one continually for many many years.

Cold, cruel enterprise not fit for man nor beast.
Practicioners of this dark activity use tools known to be lethal......ask Trotsky.

Here's my kind of ice. Thousands of feet of blue alpine ice. 60-pound packs.

Never took my sh!t for farther walks without using it than when ice climbing. The most recent instillation is three days in Bozeman getting shut down on two. But man I saw some cool scenery. ... Er I mean it sucked. At least the bears were sleeping. We'll probably ... Only saw one track.

John I figured there would be lots of ice up there already even in the low lands. They have apparently been climbing climbing ice on the sphinx in mt for over a month.

Juneau's warmer then most of the state. It comes and goes down low here but there's always some up high. It's an unknown meca
