Bastard!

I have to wait at least 3 weeks to get on some ice, and that's only if I drive down to New Hampshire!

And no Canmore trip this year. :( Going to Switzerland instead.

The Sad smiley is for the no trip to Canmore. :(

But i'm sure ice climbing in Switzerland will make up for it.

Hey Rendog, let me know how the conditions are. Its definatly still a gamble but you might luck out. We were in the sun yesterday clipping bolts at STD but as soon as you stepped in the shade the temps dropped by 5 degrees, it seemed to start forming 3 weeks ago. All signs seemed to point to climbable ice. :D
