Repost from iraomc - Glad Willoughby is finally frozen. The epicness of the area is enhanced by the sounds of the lake ice popping and groaning...

Looking at some shots from last weekend’s Adirondack mountainfest2020 for this weekend’s inspiration. Patagonia ambassador Josh Wharton was generous with instruction on mixed climbing techniques... first pic he is on Evisceration. Lots of fun mixed routes back here.... glad for the demo tools to beat on 😝😝. Third shot is Pitchoff Left. #iceclimbing #iceclimbingimages #drytooling #mountainfest2020 #adirondacks #adirondackmountains #winter #ice #climbing #mixedclimbing #iceclimbingfestival #northeastice #optoutside #goeast #chapelpond #patagonia
What a day at the Lake!
If every ice climbing day were like this, the sport might actually catch on...
Things at the Lake are on the upswing now, and what is climbable is climbing so sweetly. Fun times were had on Called on Account of Rains and Shaker Heights.

Warm temps, soft ice, good company. Pleasant Thursday cragging in Kinsman Notch. #nemguides #skyambitionsteam #iceclimbing #northeastice #petzlgram petzl_official
Day 20 on ice this season may have been my favorite day out yet! Went to Willoughby & got on Float like a butterfly and Twenty below zero! Perfect conditions, full rope length pitches, high quality ice, incredible scenery. Seriously awesome day out with robbimecus . Already itching to get back out here! Last photo, sunset behind christian.skalka & remarkablyhuman on Glass Menagerie. #neiceconditions #northeastice
A beautiful #winter day in the #adirondacks today! Perfect temps and conditions for growing #ice! I have been #iceclimbing with Bob for nearly 2 decades. We climbed Crystal ice tower, Lilith direct, seldom seen, and Laceration. Good day to be out in the hills.
An ascent of Glass Menagerie at dusk to cap a stellar day in great conditions with remarkablyhuman. 1/22/20. Pic 1 credit Roderick, pic 2 credit to crushers Bobbi and emily.s.__ with tiny us in frame. .

I could hear my friend, the late great, Joe Szot saying- “I hope you are learning something up there” ... I did! matthewwiech and I climbed a new route between “H14” and “Spike” today. It starts with the “ H14” mixed start, which was quite challenging for me due to the iced up cracks where you normally get protection. You break right and traverse to the pillar that has formed in the middle of the face. Very thin, deceivingly steep, technical and candled #ice for 50ft or so gets you to the trees. A cerebral climb that pushed my comfort zone. #learning The forecast for the next ten days looks excellent! Hopefully this exceptional route grows!
Today we experienced the wicked cold in the morning and the refreshing warmth in the afternoon on two north country classics. #adirondacks #adirondackice #iceclimbing #outdoorresearch #blackdiamondequipment #iloveny #northeastice

Big MWV Ice Fest news!
Friday Evening at Theatre in the Woods, after the feature presentation by Jon Walsh has you super stoked and you've bid on the killer Access Fund silent auction items, we will be joined by Protect Our Winters for "Climbing and Climate". A moderated discussion on how the climbing community can come together to protect the places we love. POW athlete Graham Zimmerman will moderate and will join Majka Burhardt, Anne Gilbert Chase and Dr Alix Contosta of UNH Earth Systems Research Center for a stoke filled conversation. We cannot wait.

“Here we have Rob ‘The Piz Meister’ Pizem—can I just say what a hero he is? In this photo from my book CRACK CLIMBING: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE, we see him using a form of ‘Squished Fist’ technique, which is a way to make your fist jams smaller. There are a number of ways to do this, from changing the shape of the hand before you place it inside the crack, to a variety of different twists that you can do when it’s inserted.
“I remember the first time I came across Piz was in a film extra on Reel Rock called ‘Desert Rats.’ He was climbing and working on some crazy roof crack projects in Canyonlands National Park. Little did I know back then, that this would be the place that I would eventually visit many times and develop many of the skills and techniques that have enabled me to write this book in such a comprehensive way. You can’t hide from it in this location—every route is splitter and every route is horizontal—if you can’t jam, well…you better learn quickly.” [Photo] Andrew Burr @andrew_burr @mtnbooks @petewhittaker01 @rob_pizem
This week as part of the #alpinistcommunityproject, we're sharing work from Pete Whittaker to discuss his new book, CRACK CLIMBING: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE. He writes, “‘I started this project with one goal in mind—to provide a resource of crack climbing knowledge…I hope that everyone who picks up the book—even the very best climbers in the world—can learn something.’”
This is his sixth post.
