The Black Dike

After getting skunked by warm temps this past January, we finally got on the black dike. I think this route certainly has a more fearsome reputation than it deserves... its really a quick climb. We did it in three pitches Wi3, Wi4Mnothing, Wi3. Even though its short and far easier than its rated the position is incredible and the quick mixed section adds a lot to this route.



We arrived in enough time to watch the day's first party spend 2 hours on the top half of the first pitch. Finally they bailed and we became first in line.



Here's the route's crux. The short mix step takes you to the ice which is actually vertical, brittle and thin. Only 20 feet though.



Andrew on the top out.



After an epic 6 hour drive (it wouldn't be a trip with Andrew epic jones without an epic) we opted for a quick hit just 15 min from home base. Andrew here starting up the verglas-thin first pitch at Bristol Cliff, VT.

Wer keineswegs einmal darüber sprechen kann, treibt
es ebenfalls nicht in einer Garderobe während einer Hochzeit.
Einiges erkennst du schon sofort auf diesem Profilbild dieser Camgirls,
denn Features wie Webcams mit Ton, HD-Sex Sexcams oder 3D-Cams,
Dildocontrol und dieser Voyeurzugang dürften direkt angezeigt, wenn
vorhanden. Die meisten Girls und Typen legen es schließlich darauf an
und flirten ausschließlich darum, weil sie sich noch weitere heiße Erlebnis davon
versprechen.

In addition, you can save yourself money on wasted water and with the same goals and vision as I did.
For maximum energy efficiency about 18 inches of insulation is recommended, this is fleshlight quite an easy project, that I

pet insurance Also check if you have a cross-breed with this type of dog as you may find the insurance will not cover you for this either. Vaccinations and routine treatments, such as worming and flea treatments, are generally excluded from cover, as is neutering.
