Sergio and I hit this in late morning and started the 1st pitch simul climbing

 

-

 

but what sucked was i had no screws with me, and he only had 2, and our pickets were worthless in the bulletproof ice. This meant we would have to runout each pitch w/o placing pro, so it would be much more interesting, especially with the condition of the ice.

We belayed 2 pitches, and the ice was so hard and dinnerplating that shards were slicing my arms and legs that Sergio sent down to me. After that we traversed and led affset from the belay and learned our lesson.

 

I led out the 2nd pitch, right after following him up

I got burnt real quick and we broke this pitch into two, so he followed me and then lead out the last 1/2 pitch to the top. The last 30 feet or so were pretty cool as it was about 60 degrees and much easier to climb than the average 50 degrees down below.

At the top we were greeted with a nice view of some mountain covered in snow and stuff

I think it's Tiger mountain?

Barely made it to the trail before sundown

Good climb, just another training session to get ready for Chair this winter.
