A busy day on Lincoln Falls near Breckenridge in Colorado. There were at least 15 people up there on 12/02/2001 - it sure wasn't this crowded when I started ice climbing 8 years ago.

This is the Terminator Pillar WI4 in Spearfish Canyon, Black Hills SD. It is the hardest ice route n the hills, and would be famous if it were only longer. Good sustained vertical ice climbing for 60 feet.

This is Bridalveil Falls in Spearfish Canyon, Black Hills SD. It is 120 feet long and WI3ish, depending on conditions. An excellent moderate climb in full view of a scenic highway-you wil attract a crowd on this one.

Drytooling on the walls in 11th Hour Gulch. There is no gear so it is toproping only, but fun practice.

This is the 11th Hour Ice Flow in Spearfish Canyon, Blac Hills, SD. Variations are possible anywhere from WI3-4 and several mixed climbs in the M4-6 range on the walls around it.

This is the complete Honeybear Ice Flow WI3 near Sylvan Lake in the Black Hills, SD. This was my first ice climb and my brother's first lead, so it is a special climb for me.

Peter Gram Leading Honeybear near Sylvan Lake in SD. Another excellent moderate ice route-this one you won't find without a local to show you the way.

Here is the Palmer Creek Flow in full. Truly an excellent ice climb-my favorite in the Black Hills region.

Andrew Gram leading the Palmer Creek Flow WI3 near Harney Peak in the Black Hills, SD. 100 feet long and sustained WI3+ for every inch-classic!
