Ice Update - January 23, 2025
YES Virginia there finally is an ice season. While every possible thing might not be IN, there is a gracious plenty of climbs to be done at the nominal grade, or very close to it. It's been a few years since I've seen the Frankenstein Amphitheater this fat, or Penguin looking this way. All just in time for Ice Fest, only just over a week away.
