5 out of 5 stars More Fun than Naked Iraqi Cheerleaders, just barely

We got the "anti-alpine" start, crack of 1:00 start wasn't optimal. Fatter than the last time! The mixed bit is pumpy, M6 or so and the last pitch will have to wait until next time. The crazy ice on the last pitch was hard not to do in the dark, 3rd time will be a charm, I'm sure.

5 out of 5 stars Ice Fest 2007

It was fat! We didn't get an alpine start, rather an alpine finish. We arrived at the base as another party was topping out, so it was nearly noon by the time picks were swinging. It was full conditions as a party of three, I topped out just as the light was beginning to fade. With only one headlamp between the three of us, the rap into the dark was an experience itself!
