Maple Canyon

This was our first ice outing. We ended up camping in Maple Canyon so we can be ready to go at first light.  We didn't know what in the world we were doing. The moral of Ice Climbing is to not fall. Falling with tools and crampons can be bad. You can snag your crampons in the ice and bust an ankle. Or worse you could cut your rope! With the help of the climbing club we got to top rope numerous routes that we would not be able to climb for years if we pursued ice climbing.

Check out these fancy gloves.
Frozen butt shots.
