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!

Big Ice last Week

Sorry for the late posting but when the ice is good its really good and when its not so good well...
I would love to hear about peoples adventures over the last few days.  Judging from the crowd at 215 people were out making it happen. I have heard reports of fat pillars and snicy slabs. Conditions were prime in Linville Gorge where the steep ice was relatively unaffected by the snow where as Whitesides low angle slabs were thick with snice and thin with ice.  Ill have pictures to post pretty soon so stay tuned.
