Axes & Firearms

With frozen granular President's Week conditions at the mountain and crystal clear bluebird skies overhead, we packed up the car and headed to the local crag.  While there was half the ice of last week, the pillar we climbed was pretty damn solid :)  For the first time, my arms were not completely pumped!  Thanks to some last minute advice from Aaron, I started to find my inner gremlin and how to move into my triangle, rather than hanging from my ice axes - which means easier climbing - and more of it!!

Just because you don't have double boots, doesn't mean you can't climb!  Ski Boots work, kinda...
