Day Five in the Park

After breakfast we scooted on down the road and got to the Upper Bridge area and set up WHIT's WORLD WI4 40M; BERZERKER WI5 40M;PICK O' THE VIC WI4 40m. The upper bridge area is a belay from the top section of the park into routes that are longer and begin at a harder grade. When you are lowered into the gorge, you MUST be able to climb out. The climbing today was long and sustained though we elected to climb select areas of routes that had better ice. An interesting ice formation I encountered looked like ice cubes or ice balls instead of solid blue ice. Watching some of our guys climb Berzerker was pretty impressive. We hooked up with Peter Smith and Von Slingerlund. Saif and Ross Downer had to leave to day. The remainder of the crew leaves Wednesday. More images of the daye to follow.
