The Iceman Cometh...

I did the last of the big ice routes in the Ghost by climbing Hydrophobia a few weeks ago. It's a pretty awesome and sustained climb. It's steep the whole way and there isn't a ledge in sight. Glad to have done it... but really looking forward to getting back on its anemic friend to the right next year...



Hydrophobia (L) and Cryophobia (R)

Second pitch, second hanging ice belay.

Me on the final pitch.

Quick high steps... trying to keep the boots dry.

A rest day in Evan Thomas Creek... finding suprisingly solid plastic ice in 50 degree temps.
