- Description:
- After starting the 2009-2010 ice season off relatively well, it slowed
down significantly after my Ouray (CO) trip this year. Between
work and my family, I was really busy and wasn't able to get out that
much in February, March, or April. Nevertheless, we did get one
more good day in at Vail (CO) to likely finish the ice season. I
had climbed at Pumphouse Falls one other time with some old friends over
three years ago. It was fun to go back after quite some time and
climb there again. Jeff and I each led the pitch in traditional
style and then left the screws and screamers in so we could lead it
again as a sport climb. On my sport lead, I climbed leashless
which definitely made the pitch harder for me. After cleaning the
ice, we top-roped for three more runs of various lines before heading
back to Highlands Ranch (CO).
