Winter Camping/ Iceclimbing

The rope was set up over night, it ended up frozen into the ice. David and Matt had to solo up and chip the rope free.

Jon had a hard time climbing with Matt's old mountaineering crampons. You can see here that the one on his right foot isn't even attached anymore.

One of numerous frosty beards. The overnight low was close to -30.

Here's Matt zipping up "Blue Heaven"

FUN IN THE SUN/SNOW

Jonathan loves going for walks now (and actually walking). He's pretty good on the snow, but the ice is still a challenge. He has no concept its slippery and heads straight for it at full speed.

Ben loves the snow. He gets totally soaked and frozen and doesn't care at all. He was loving me taking his picture too.
