1st Annual Winter Solstice Unofficial Gathering

Post by osprey »

It has been 5 years since I have done any ice climbing so I signed up for a 2 day refresher course with San Juan Mountain Guides ( Henry Kramer drew the short end of the stick and was my guide) at Ice Park for Saturday and Sunday.
There was a team of 3 immediately next to our rope.
One of the 3 looked vaguely familiar so after staring at him he turned out to be Ben Feinstein and one partner was Darren Baker. The third partner’s name escaped me.
All 3 were excellent on the ice.
