Shelburne Pillars

Originally Isaac and I were planning on heading over to NH for some multipitch ice, but the weather forecast called for a significant amount of snow, so we chose to go to Smuggler's instead.  Twenty minutes into the drive this morning, it was painfully obvious that the normal hour and a half drive up to the Notch was going to be more like three hours today, due to snowy road conditions.  We downgraded to Shelburne Pillars.  Shelburne Pillars is an anomoly and its discovery as an ice climbing playground is a mystery to me.  It is located on a small river set in a low "gorge" of sorts, surrounded by suburbia.  To access the pillars, you park in a Rite-Aid parking lot and walk off into the woods.  Overall, it is a nice place to go for a few quick pitches.
