Intro to Ice Climbing (1 day only)

September 20, 2025

Coordinator: Noel Tavan

Elevation Gain: 1500 feet
Round-trip Distance: 1.5 miles
Excursion Time: 8 hours (car-to-car)

Switched to 1 day due to weather being bad (rain and wind ) on Sunday. Couldn't find a deep crevasse to get more practice. Would be nice to have a glacier travel clinic right before it so we can scope the glacier. Everyone had a great time. Jeff had issues with boots and got blisters. https://photos.app.goo.gl/AygvGL4bNr6hm8xP6

Hello everyone, I took over Mikela's event because she won't be able to make the new dates. If you don't like me or can't make the new dates, I am sorry to disappoint you and please remove yourself from the event. I can also do that for you if you don't know how to do it.

Nicole answers:
I don’t like you, so I gotta bail. Don’t worry, you didn’t disappoint. Have fun!

Gillian answers:
I, unfortunately, gotta bail. I will be hosting 3 9 year-old young-ladies for an epic slumber-party.
