2 out of 5 stars Easy day

Nice fat ice. Better than I expected for the first week of April.

First ice lead for me - on the second pitch. I seconded it first, then lowered to the ledge and led from there.

Happened to run into Barry Blanchard there that day :)

4 out of 5 stars Grotto Falls

Fun, thick, dripping wet. Still, we had the whole canyon to ourselves, which is probably rare. Climbed as 1 pitch.
