  • Description:
    • John, Jeff, and I rapped into the Lower Bridge area of the ice park and a fun hard route and made a couple of laps before I wandered around the canyon and saw Dan and Austin climbing in Scottish Gullies.  They came over to where we were climbing and dropped a rope on Tic Tac.  We all climbed several times before heading to the new Ouray Brewery for a beer and starting watching football.  I busted a crampon, but was able to get replacement parts at the local mountaineering shop.  We went back to the house to soak in the hot tub and have some chili while we watched more football.
