Day 2 was a hard ice day. Tim lead up Gully 1, WI4 for 150’. All the training paid off on this climb and focusing on good form. We then went over and did left hand monkey wrench and I snagged another lead on the cleft. It was a great day out! #climb #climbing #ice #iceclimbing #neiceconditions #gully1 #cleft #lefthandmonkeywrench #iceclimber

On ice this Saturday. Introducing the fickle pursuit to Lindsay. A lot of wallowing into the stream in Grafton Notch and a little intro climb. Broke out and climbed on some classic tools so she could swing my tech machines. Plenty of ice in Grafton. Plenty of snow as well. I'd imagine the slabs are pretty loaded. #neiceconditions

Welcome back winter. Kicked the weekend off with a couple of laps up Arethusa Falls. Then a delicate follow up Gully #1 on Willard and an enjoyable exit through the cleft. I absolutely love days like today. Ice is nice.

Morning ice climbs with ferlandpat on Swamp Thing.
As is usually the case when we climb, there’s either a lot of snow, or the ice is rather funky.
But, it’s still time spent hanging from an icicle. We did a few laps each, and called it a day.

Another day at the beach.
South Beach of Lake Willoughby that is.
Got out with Maryann and Lyn today, two talented climbers getting steeper and steeper. Always a pleasure to see climbers with a reservoir of skills, looking to widen and deepen that reservoir. That’s what The Lake provides.

Couldn’t ask for a better Waterfall Wednesday!
I got my first lead climb.
WOO HOO!!!!!
Technically, it was 3 pitches, but pitch 2 had so much snow, we pretty much walked right up it.
We had planned to climb Glen Ellis Falls (last picture), but it was still not frozen enough to risk it. So, we walked up the road, and climbed Pinkham Cascade. That was when ferlandpat told me I was going to lead.
Although pitch 1 is a bit low angle, for my first time leading, it’s still a strange feeling. But, I must say, I have not felt so relaxed on a climb.
The final short pitch was vertical, and again, I wasn’t nervous at all. I felt like I climbed the best I have.
Can’t wait to lead another climb!

TANNIN Bomb: 2023 January 25.
I've been dreaming of this route for years, but this is the first time I've climbed it. I haven't even seen it form in several of winters.
secretlifeof_walter_matty led a scratchy, brittle pitch one up the chimney. I took pitch two up friable, layered ice blobs for the traverse to the curtain. Parts were building and drippy and other parts candled. Solid, if not brittle, ice was the theme for the last half of what Matt described as an “outright terrifying” climb lol.

Easily amused.

Ice climbing is pretty basic: Swing tools and crampons into ice. Move up.

The questions, challenges, and solutions along the way can bring so much joy.

This ice season started really late for me (and most folks), but it started off strong. My first day out, I led LHMW, Read Between the Lines, Out of Touch, and the Cleft. I was stoked to fire up Out of Touch (WI5) on my first day out (pic 1-3). What a fantastic climb. On Sunday, I helped run a beginner ice climbing trip with mitoutingclub , but scored a bonus lap up Scottish Gully (WI3+ 5.4). It was less mixed climbing than I expected, with very thin ice to the ground. Bottomed out two 13 cm screws and one 10 cm screw. The crux was calf pump and clearing snow off the route while climbing. Another great route though.

Pc: colwem (1-3) and column_maybe (4-7)

PSA: Check your anchor knots. Lots. Particularly the part of
the rope right at the knot. I’ve posted on this before but/and yet another encounter yesterday underscored for me what appears to be a strange (and dangerous) phenomenon where some kind of rodent is attracted to rope chewing right next to knots.

These photos depict the anchor I encountered—an anchor I believe I put on 3 seasons ago—at the top of Driving Force. The looker’s right strand was cleanly and completely cut through. If I hadn’t seen this before, I’d say it was a knife cut.

In previous posts I noted that it doesn’t seem like the animals take the threads for nesting. Someone speculated that maybe they chew near the knot because of hand scent or salts during tying it. Given the moisture we get, that doesn’t seem likely to me, but I don’t have a better explanation.

No matter what the motivation for animals to do this is, it should serve as strong motivation for each of us to thoroughly check in-place anchors before committing to them. If I get up to Driving Force this year, I’ll make a point to replace this anchor.

Great first day of ice climbing in Smugglers Notch. We climbed both pitches of Jefferson Slide, which were in good condition. The second pitch is a must do if you get there! You also get to belay from an amazing cave 😁

Wonderful day on Willard! Gully 1 climbing well, Great Madness in but some melty funky ice, and always fun to finish on the Cleft. ne_ice_conditions #neiceconditions

Always a special day when you make it to the trees at the lake!

It was strange seeing all the open water - but things looked pretty good considering the season so far and I managed to get on Who's Who for the first time.

I'm not sure if it has more ice than usual... or just everything else has less. Either way the first pitch was a much more bold lead than I was planning on - but the three dimensional climbing on the final pillar almost made the price of admission worth it! Ha. #neiceconditions

Frozen Water Account on The Lake 1/18/2023

This is before the snow and fell frozen precipitation in the system, so I imagine it’s looking pretty good now. Here’s an overview of the whole Pisgah Cliff.

This isn’t an ice report, just a clip for folks to see what it’s been looking like.
