Ice Is Nice And Will Suffice

Swinging the Tools

Debbie mentioned she wanted to learn to ice climb this winter, so being a dutiful husband, I jumped at the chance.  There is a great moderate climb in Little Cottonwood Canyon called the "Great White Icicle," always perfect for having a pleasant outing.  We practiced one day on the lower pitches in January, then picked an un-crowded Tuesday morning in February to go to the top.  Yahooo!

All racked up with someplace to go.

Cruising the money part of the third pitch.  She's a natural!

Starting the curtain on the last pitch.
The couple that swings together stays together.
