- Description:
- In an attempt to further delay the start of my rock climbing season, I
talked Jeff into going back to the Firehouse in Vail (CO) for a final
day of ice climbing in 2011. In fact, the weather in the Front
Range was not conducive to rock climbing so Jeff really didn't have much
of a choice if he wanted to get out. This would mark the first
time we ice climbed in the month of May. We each led a different
line on the West Slab and weren't too excited about the ice conditions.
You had to clean a lot of snow and rotten ice to get to good screw
placements. As a result, we ended up setting up a top rope on a
steep line in Firehouse West for a couple of laps before calling it a
day.
