You is gonna freeze your balls off. good times doc! Don't forget your camera! It was cold out at the Bridge today. Hopefully we will have some climbable ice soon. Christ, it was cold!!! And I don't think either Nathan or I dressed quite warm enough. The wind was what killed it. I made a good call to stay home and do laundry and housework then  Yeah, but you missed your chance to try out your cold weather clothing system. You need to bring your boots over this week so we can try some crampons on them. I think we have a set that will work. Thats the problem I don't really have a cold weather clothing system. And thursday is the tentative night. I will bring the boots
Sent you a message on Facebook about you ocming over. I'll assume that Thursday is better for you and make plans to go over by Buffalo tomorrow (weds).

Cracks forming on ice he was climbing, so we rigged something.
My friend Steve was at Sugarloaf once (here in MD, not the one in Cali) and there were some teenagers soloing. One goes to us "real climbers don't use ropes." and they take off up this 5.6
Ten minutes later one gets stuck 30 feet up and Steve has to rap down to him, build an anchor and lower him to the ground.

Do you post on NEice? They were talking about it the other day there.
I don't know if my ADD will let me keep an eye on something for very lon......

That's the North East. NS and NFLD do have a lot of coast, way more than all off those states combined.
