Cody Ice

In the beginning of March we took a trip up to Cody to ice climb.  I hadn't ice climbed since the year before when we were in Cody, but luckily ice climbing is like riding a bike.  Once again we got a cabin in the valley which made the drive to and from the ice nice and short.  Unfortunately it didn't shorten the approach hikes!  On the first day, 5 of us climbed a great route called "View to a Thrill".

 Day 2: We all climbed Too Cold to Fire.

Day 3: Unfortunately, John and Jaaron had to head home, but Brooke, Tim, Smokey Joe and I climbed Mean Green.

 Day 4: Tim, Smokey Joe and I got a late start and climbed Broken Heart's first 4 pitches.  We walked up to My Only Valentine and were pleasantly surprised to find it in.  We climbed that and then saw that we made a big mistake of starting late because the rarely in 6th pitch was fat.  Unfortunately we had to rappel since Tim and I had left our headlamps at the packs.

 Day 5: Brooke, Tim, Smokey Joe and I climbed High on Boulder to Save it for Later and Moonrise.

Can't wait till next winter!
