Bug Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) It was Olivia's first ice climb. I had set up a climb with an old climbing buddy in Msla and Olivia overheard me. It was obvious that she would be pissed forever if I didn't take her so we packed her gear. The day was perfect. It would have been nice to do Blodget Falls. On the other hand, I will never forget seeing Olivia on points for the first time. And her form was perfect. She will do well. There was also plenty of hot chocolate. The Swan Slab proper had slid a few days before and we exited over the debris, ten feet of ice chunks. There are few times in my life that I have had a day as good as this.

pup_on_the_mountain Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Awesome!! Looks like fun for sure. I'll have to get my ass over there, but its getting really hard to convince people around the Palouse to make the longish drive . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I thought she was taking a header in that 3rd picture. Blodgett is a pretty rad place. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Feb 17. It is probably still in but the weather has been warm. BF is a classic WI2- in a perfect setting. The rap is climbers left from a tree or descend via the ledges under Nez Pierce (on the right). But don't leave anything at the base cause its a long ways back from the end of the ledges.
