This was my first time ever on ice! Kim and I took a ice climbing class with IME and AMC. The climb site is call Texaco in Crawford Notch.
It was a very cold day. I definitely do not have enough layers when belaying others. Note to self, get the softshell out of the closet!
The climb site is call Texaco, in Crawford, NH.
