If there’s ice to climb, we’re climbing it! Tomorrow’s meetup will be at the Positive Reinforcement area in the Chapel Pond Canyon at 5:45pm. Easiest approach is via the Beer Walls (head down from Upper on the trail to Lower, and then continue all the way to the bottom of the canyon, then turn right and continue down the canyon till you come to the first large, obvious flow).

We’re back at it for as long as the ice lasts! This week’s meetup will be at the Harlot flow in the NSOP area.

Take an immediate left off the path once you reach the huge rock alongside the trail. More info at the link in our bio.
