Ice Update - February 2, 2023
Ice is finally really starting to happen now. At last I give it a 3. The stories for the weekend are Ice Fest and the weather. I know some are poo-pooing the cold, trying to proove how strong they are. But this is cold on another level. So please pay attention and dial your personal goals down a notch, or even two. Shit can happen very quickly in these temps and there is minimal room for error. Just remember what happened to Kate Matrosova in similar conditions! After we get through this weekend I think we're going to be in for some great climbing weather. I hope to see you around at Ice Fest. I'm part of a panel on how climate effects our climbing, so come on by. Stay warm...
