Ice climbing is badass

Thanks peter, conan, jeremy, sandrine, thom, graeme, darrell, chris for a rad session- it was great climbing with you all

also halls harbour has tons of good (read chossy but high and featured) rock potential.

What an awesome day! The view walking down the beach with icefall after icefall all along the cliff was a sight to behold (Ben running up and down trying out his axes on each was another! :-). A big thanks to everyone for a great day, particularily those lending out ropes, tools, etc.

I have friday off- Is anyone interested in heading to halls harbour again if the tides are right- I really want to try some of the rock there as well- it looks like it has a lot of potential in areas

Here are some of my photos from yesterday. Several deserve captions, but I am sure you can each think of your own, like, "What did we catch Conan doing?"

I went out once and I was hooked. I didn't even get to use crampons because nobody had boots that would fit my feet.


Chossy featured rock + ice = mixed routes. :D

OH peterrrrr... you have your tights on again....

heheheheh....


Nice work boys, looks like you are enjoying it! Just wait until you have your own boots... you think you love it now?! man, climbing in ice boots instead of ski boots is like night and day!
