Northeast Ice Adventure #2

Nate flew out to VT for another go at some NE ice.  Conditions were favorable for the most part (some snow storms made driving a bit heinous and there was one day of climbing in a blizzard).  Overall though a really good trip; and we got the Black Dike.  Good times.

Bristol Cliffs. Though it looks good, the ice was very thin in spots.  My picks were dull after this day.

Waiting in line.  We waited 2 hours for a party to bail, before we started up the Dike

The Black Dike.  The two climbers in the picture were the ones we were waiting for.  There are on the first pitch.
