Ice Climbing In Colorado

The Park in Ouray is perfect for early season training.  The avalanche conditions are high at the moment so hanging out at the park is what we've been doing mostly. We hope to get an open window of good weather to do a few classic routes in the following week or so.

The first few steps of " Get it while you can"  a new ice route in Ouray. It's one long pitch ,  a few technical spots but nothing to crazy. WI4 and a few moves on rock . 

Driving dirt bikes in snow... what a trip!  Getting them started is the main thing . They seem to dislike the cold lately, at least this time  they did.  We had to boost them with Jay's truck.
