This image was taken the night we arrived. We searched and could not spot the club sticker right away; I placed the sticker when the brewery opened whenever that was.
We get up at 0630 and Emily & Bill, our new hosts, provide us with hot breakfasts to see us through a days climbing in the park.
We use to leave our rooms at 0730 and work ourselves into a lather in the 15 min walk up to the park and by the time we reached the bridge, we'd be ready to climb....Now a days, the bus (our rental car) would leave at 0745 sharp to be there at the shack to gear up.
By the 2nd day we should have had a routine down where you plop down, put on your harness, crampons, take off layers, put on your helmet and rush to the anchor of your choice. I would haul ass so I could claim whatever route I selected at breakfast. As the weekend rolled around, there would be more and more people and being efficient when you geared up saved you a walk to south park.
I talked about maybe arriving on a Monday, instead of a Tuesday in 2019. This would give us 3 days in the park to climb, with Friday being the rest day to ski somewhere when the ice park becomes a frozen zoo with weekend climbers.
