Libby, Mt. Roadside Ice

Climbed a fun little line today with Mike gotta love roadside ice. This is the third time I've done this climb been a few years. Great screws, plastic ice and short approach what more can you want. Life is in deed good!

Gotta love roadside ice!

Chilco Is In Da House!

Climb Chilco with Joe on Saturday not to shabby for early season N Idaho ice. Gotta love ice that is only minutes from my house!  Temps keep consistent and she'll be fattened up for Christmas. Off to Hyalite towards the end of the week for a few days! I can't wait!

The little mixed line is coming along nice! 

Look, Listen and Learn!

Great Ice Video

Ice Season Begins!

Got over to Hyalite for two days of ice with Joe 11-21&22! Hallelujah it was great to swing the good old ice tools again. Off to a good start now just have to keep up the momentum! For now more plice until real ice! The future trip plan wheels are a turnin!

Got Plice?

I do!

After seeing this video of Will Gadd a year ago I knew that I needed to build my own plice board.

So last Sunday off to Home Depot and a few hours later I got plice. Always looking to improve my ice climbing this should definitely help.

Throw in some squat stands complements of Will Gadd also.

Sprinkle in calf raises and hammer swings for good measure.

Ice Season is right around the corner now and I am psyched if you can't tell!
