WE'RE now at that shoulder season where there is no ice to climb, there is no snow to ski and yet it's cold and damp and not a great time for doing many of outdoor things we all love to do - like rock climbing and cycling. It's going to get here of course, but in the interim we have to get through the next 4-6 weeks.
The MWV Ice Fest is considered one of the premier climbing events in the country. For 27 years it has provided a great opportunity for those attending to network, socialize, try new gear and participate in multiple day courses, one-day technical clinics and privately guided climbs. Don't miss it!
January 31 - February 2 in North Conway, NH.

V-thread ice anchors are an easy, secure and inexpensive rappel anchor for ice climbing. In this article I will describe how to make the anchor, how to use it, what kind of gear is needed, and how to make your own tool. Everything about v-threading is easy and they have become popular at ice crags all over the world.
Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
