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!

Linville Gorge Ice Report

Got a great report from ClimberBrian this morning in regards to Linville. Thanks for the update.
Amphitereater report as of 12/8.

"2 100' routes were in at linville (amphitheater), I lead one route but
the other was too chandeliered at the bottom for my comfort (a stronger
leader could lead it). The three pitch route is getting close but by mid
morning ice was crashing down the route for the entire day....It was
still standing when we left. More routes that were touching down were
seen scattered throughout the gorge but we didn't have time to check
them out."

Thanks man! Keep em coming.

Got a Graveyard Fields video in the works from yesterday and on the way up 215 looked great all the way to the Parkway. Should be prime for the weekend...if the weather holds.
Stay tuned!
