Ice was found, fear was felt, fun was had, ice was climbed.

Had a fantastic weekend up in Squamish. Highlander and I pushed our trad leading abilities in perfect weather. It wasn't even cold at nights! I also got to take my biggest trad fall yet - a 25 ft-er on a yellow alien stopping 2 ft above a ledge. We ended the weekend on a .10c Exasperator that may be the finest finger crack I have ever seen.

We climbed the West face of the King (brain damage) at Crystal this weekend. Beautiful narrow, steep gully with a totally sun drenched topout. If you cant ski it why not climb it ?

Climbed four pitches of good slabby stuff at Stone Mountain in North Carolina with my lil' brother. The climbing was fun, but the people climbing next to us were more entertaining. There was the West Virginian who looked like he had literally just climbed out of a cave (muddy helmet with taped-on flashlight, etc.), the guy who let go of his brake hand as he tried to untangle the leader's trail line, and the couple from Ohio who yelled at each other the whole time. Fun times.
