  • Elevation Gain:  300' (Estimate)
  • Hiking Partner(s):  Dan Cillo, John Balciar, & Jeff Shafer
  • Routes:  WI4
• Description:
  • Dan, John, Jeff, and I decided to venture up Camp Bird Road and see if there was anything we could climb.  We decided to give Slip Sliding Away a try.  I led the climb to a large tree at the top.  It seemed fairly hard to me given the conditions, but it was "my third day on" so it's probably just me.  Anyway, Dan followed and then Jeff sport led the climb since we didn't have two full ice racks.  John had the fun of cleaning the route before we all rappelled back down to the road together.
