A Precautionary Message

Ice Climbing is extremely dangerous! This blog cannot warn or prepare you for all the hazards that you could experience climbing ice or any other features in the mountains. This blog is only one of the many places where limitless information is available and it certainly is not a substitute for proper training, risk management, judgment, equipment knowledge or wilderness/back country skills. Seek proper training before going ice or rock climbing so that you can stack the odds in your favor. Be safe and have fun out there!

215 Survives Warm Temps!

A crew stopped in to give this first hand 215 report.
Hwy 215 (road) was in slick conditions.  Lots of black ice so chains are a good idea.  They were headed up to Sam's Knob but were thwarted by the slick road conditions and stopped at 215 instead.  215 was in good shape although somewhat hacked out by the weekend activity.  Most routes were plastic and some in leadable condition.  Despite tomorrows 55 degree prediction there are a few cold nights forecast for the rest of the week and remember, when its warm low its cold high.


Happy Holidays Folks!
Phil
