wayne Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Trip: Sick Times at Hyalite - Date: 12/19/2010 Trip Report: Climber/Photographer Ben Herndon and I went to Hyalite for a week of climbing, partying and photography. Our first few days there we participated in the Bozeman Ice Fest 2010. I had never been to a festival before and I can tell you this one is wayyy fun. Great shows on Guy Lacell, from Will Gadd and many others, kept the stoke up in high gear. Each evening we were driven crazy by the presentations and the hot ice climbing chicks there. Sorry no photos of the chicks. Anywhoo, every thing else here is fat and blue. Some of the low hanging fruit climbs are a little picked out, but the walker will be rewarded. Day 1: Craig and Marko tried Rocket Boy after we did the new ascent of its first pitch. Day 2 We go on a solo binge of Hangover, Genesis 2 , and top it off with Golden Mean , all in the 2 hrs before dark. This last shot is Me messing around in the cave by Golden Mean. Neat stuff. Day 3: I hook up with Jessica (ICMNTS.) And Geoff to do laps on the 2 Twin Falls, Sweet routes in the 3-4 range. Day 4 : I catch a bad cold and rest in the Window Rock Cabin. Day 5 : I get on a couple of sickies, Good Lookin One and Black Magic. Day 6. More sickness in my chest and head , I need ICE! Cleopatras and the amazing Airborne Ranger! Huge thanks to Marko, Ben, Craig, Bozeman Ice Fest, and Pro Mountain Sports for the best ice gear available BUY LOCAL!! More on my Blog, :link below. Quote

Calder Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Nice ticks. It's always fun climbing with Craig. I need to get there soon. Craig and I had a go at Cleo's last year and I'd love to go back and finish it. Who led Airborne Ranger? Mad props to whoever it was! Edited December 20, 2010 by Calder Quote
