bnelsyoself topping out on Chia Direct (WI4+) on Sunday. Wet rock and some less than ideal rock bounces, but still a great climb.

Sunday (2/16/20) was definitely my best day on the ice so far. Led The Penguin (another party on it in pic three), a classic WI4 with a thin first pitch and a slightly mixed second pitch with a great cam placement and a fun little stemming move on rock. Then proceeded to lead chia direct (WI4+), which was my hardest guidebook grade ice lead (second pitch of Rear Window last week felt thinner, steeper, and more technical, but is WI4 in the guidebook). Leading Chia Direct was sentimental for me, because it’s the first ice climb I ever got on, back in 2017 with radam_gnawrot, and I remember struggling to get up the first twenty feet on top rope. It’s also just an awesome line, even though the usual second half was candled and had to be bypassed for an equally steep but wetter and fatter section on the left.

2/18/20. Ricketts Glen, PA. jakecramer1 reports “Climbed there yesterday- the left wall is in and solid. War Bonnet had just touched down enough to TR, should build and be nice and solid by the weekend. Cradle Board was in and leadable. Dutch Eagle was half formed but fell off yesterday afternoon.” #neiceconditions

One hell of a weekend in the #Adirondacks!
real_cookie_monstah and I enjoyed non-stop classics starting with Power Play and Roaring Brook Falls, followed by a ski tour into Avalanche Pass and slide descent, and culminating with an ascent of Positive Thinking, a long term goal of mine. Great climbing in my favorite place ❤️ #iceclimbing #climbing #neiceconditions #skithedacks #backcountryskiing #iloveny #upstateny

Ice climbing is like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” - it’s all made up and the points don’t matter. Understanding that and admitting that it’s an absurd thing to do has helped me enjoy it even more, recently. Climbing frozen water makes no sense at all. And certainly isn’t a readily transferable skill set to much else in life. But embracing all of this has helped me smile more. It’s also provided me the freedom to do other absurd things that bring me and others joy. Like drive 14 hours to Sept Iles. Or buy a snowmobile to access remote, wintery places. This stuff is just way too much fun to have second doubts about. After climbing La Pomme d’Or last week pavansurapaneni and I made the trek further north in search of some of the best climbing this side of Canmore. We first climbed the ultra-classic “Simon-Proulx” (160m, WI5). This reliable flow of rust colored ice is bigger than anything at Lake Willoughby. We then took advantage of warmer temps the following day and climbed the breathtaking “Le Mulot” (160m, WI6). “Le Mulot” has a little bit (or maybe a lot) of everything. After the 70m approach pitch we found a mixture of thin, technical climbing on dry ice, a few mixed moves that exited behind a column, and lots of vertical and overhanging climbing on blobs and steep, candled ice. All of it was engaging to climb and thought provoking to protect well. This route is one of the best I’ve ever done. What fun to tick another ascent of each of these routes after climbing here last season with dustin_sportsclimb . What an incredible place!

Snow blowing down and up, sometimes sideways, today at Willoughby.
We found the calmest spot in the Mindbender Amphitheater, but it was still breezy, with some funky ice blends—but a good time for sure; Willoughby alway provides!

Vermont ice climbing is scary. My first experience at Lake Willoughby is the WI5+ promenade a three pitch 400 foot monster. I’m a little red speck climbing up to those two dudes Emmett and Harold on the right hand side of this picture. This fucking Climb was mental. no idea how the hell Emmit put this up. Alden Pellet Took this picture. #neiceconditions

You may not get this, and that’s okay. You can fix that with a little google, “shagg crag perma-draws.” Myself, I’d like to see a draw-cleaning barbeque. That place is a choss pile. .

If you don't know, ski_the_whites Last Skier Stand

If you don't know, ski_the_whites Last Skier Standing happened this past weekend. r.chalmers took the win with a time of 34ish hours which is savage enough on it's own - but to add to the savagery, Chalmers was eating fucking oysters the entire time. What a dude. Imagine being in that event and looking over seeing a dude sucking down shellfish. .
