I personally like the changing nature of ice. It is really never the same climb twice. My friend Dawn Glanc always told me she would rather have a warm day of ice climbing than a cold day of rock climbing.

Climbing partnerships form wonderful bonds. Celebrating summits, commiserating in an unfortunate retreat, offering encouragement during difficult trials…Yada yada, it’s all the things that make climbing unique. BUT, there is one event, where emotions are so diametrically opposed, it is a wonder there aren’t more partners murdered.

Maybe if he would not have taken the time to but that weird gray mesh and the orange screw cap back on the screw his hands would not have gotten so cold. Always have to chuckle a little when I see that on people's harness. They are kind of hard to put in that way.

In SoCal, ice is.... well where you find it. Sometimes you get lucky! This was about an hour's drive from my place in Arcadia. With a bit of hiking as well.

TY, Hey this is an ice depreciation thread - not an appreciation thread!
That's a sweet little smear there. Looks like it was fun.
