Bristol Cliffs Ice Climbing

The day before I had guided a beginner ice climbing course for Middlebury College and decided to take my cousin up to do some local ice.  Great day out and no one there.  The ice was as fat as I have ever seen at Bristol.  The ice was thick and took great tool sticks (though some of the screw placements were less than ideal due to the wetness of the ice)  I led up the right side of the central flow (WI2+).    Fun times.

I look stern, but I'm actually having a great time
