Avalanche Lake, New York
April 9, 2018
“My climbing partner, Chad and I had an incredible day yesterday, April 9th at Avalanche Lake! We climbed three routes. We warmed up on “Warm Up” I then lead “The Last Hurrah” and Chad lead the spectacular, “Gold Rush of 96”, arguably the best route in the Adirondacks! For both of us, the best ice climbing day in the park we have ever experienced. A fantastic day with my great friend and climbing partner!”

Where does the rhythm begin, however, and where does it end? Does a lack of climbable ice in the immediate area mean that the season is over? Or is it just another cog in the wheel that is the calendar of ice climbing?
