4 inches of snow on the Blue Ridge Parkway marked the beginning of winter early this week. If you are like me then your itching to get out on the cold, blue goodness this year. Be patient people and enjoy this stoke from last years season!
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!

Is it cold yet?
Welcome to the first post of the 2011/12 NC Ice season. We are still here to bring you the best, most up to date conditions of ice in WNC and the surrounding areas! Along with that we will be adding our favorite gear reviews, routes, and stories from the season. If you follow this blog please share with your friends that may have not heard of us.
From the gear shop perspective, we have already received our first shipment of ice gear and have been moving it right along. Something about cold weather in the South gets ice climbers all hopped and jittery like they have had too much Mountain Dew! We love it. Stop in and see us this season and tell us your goals for this winter!
