For the last two winters Amanda has ice climbed a day or two each winter. Even with her minimal days out each winter she has been steadily picking off San Juan Classics.

Approaching Stairway to Heaven |
In years past she climbed, Ames Ice Hose, Bridalveil Falls, The Calling, and Whorehouse Hoses. On Thursday Tim, Jaaron, Amanda, and I got out and added Stairway to Heaven to that list.

We split into two teams with Tim and Jaaron climbing first and Amanda and I trying to keep up. Although the temps were a chilly 4 degrees at the trailhead when we left the vehicles, it turned out to be a beautiful pleasant sunny day.
